Heeley Art Club, which formed in 1895, is to hold its 14th exhibition of its members’ latest work at the Winter Garden, running from this Saturday until next Saturday, April 9.

This time the show will feature artworks covering topics mostly not related to Sheffield, in watercolours, oils, acrylics and mixed media – and everything is for sale.

The spring exhibition will be open daily during the Winter Garden’s usual opening times, ending next Saturday at 3pm. Visit www.heeleyartclub.co.uk for details.
