Aylesbury Dolls House Club Charity Exhibition

Val Barrow, Barbara Hastings & friends from Aylesbury Dolls House Club held a very successful exhibition in aid of The Pepper Foundation on Saturday April 18th at Wilstone Village Hall.

The display of Club members’ work included Minivale, a miniature village hall containing its own dolls house exhibition, which naturally had a tiny table with a miniature Minivale! Another joint project, which attracted attention and praise, was ‘The Last Resort’, a retirement home on three floors complete with a suitably paved garden.

A central display of 1/12th and 1/24th scale houses and room boxes was flanked by the stalls of several high-quality traders including Robert Longstaff, HiJinx tapestries, Tom Burchmore, Marie Henley and Page Components. As well as The Pepper Foundation’s own tombola, Club members manned sales tables, a raffle and tombola, with miniature prizes suitable for use in scale models. More members provided refreshments throughout the day.

Jonathan Tweed was delighted to attend a cheque presentation to receive a donation of £1,066.70 from the group and in addition to this Pepper raised another £125 from their own tombola stall.Aylesbury Dolls House Club currently has space for new members.
