Simon Gilligan, chairman of ADeC, said: “It’s great to see local artists exhibit in this intriguing museum.

“The fact it’s on for a period of five weeks is a fantastic and rare opportunity for more artists to exhibit their art for longer with a greater chance of visitors seeing it. Interesting venue, inspirational art and a warm community.”

Lesley Mardle said: “It’s a really lovely exhibition with a wide variety of different arts.

“From colourful linocuts to creative textiles, it’s all excellent. It’s lovely that people have come from a wide area as far as Cambridge to see this delightful exhibition.”

Father Paul West said: “It’s a beautiful exhibition for community renewal engaging through the arts. I would love to see more projects and involvement in our communities like this.”
