RE: Long Barn Art and Photographic Competition

You may not have heard of us but we are lavender growers with a difference. We opened a magnificent green oak barn last November between Bishops Sutton and Alresford, which is surrounded by newly planted lavender and a view of the River Itchen. We have a boutique plant nursery, lavender collection and a variety of complementary home and garden wares sourced from English producers.

We hold a number of events throughout the year and this year sees our first Festival of Lavender. This will take place in the grounds of Long Barn from July 30th to August 9th and we would like to invite you to take part in our Art and Photography Competition. There is a nominal entry fee of £5.00 which includes tea/coffee and cake and a winner’s prize of £50.00 plus a Long Barn Gift Box.

We are hoping your members will be interested in coming to the Barn and taking that special shot. Although our lavender is young the site offers fantastic opportunities for the artistic eye – our new straw bale wall, chicken and shepherd’s hut, kitchen garden beds and the Barn itself which is one of the largest green oak structures in southern England.

We would ask you to be aware that there will be other events taking place during your time here should you wish to take part in our competition so we urge you to book as soon as possible to secure your pitch!

You may wish to visit our website which will give you some idea of the area described above –www.long-barn.co.uk and in particular under News/Chronicle.

If you think this event is of interest to you, please contact us on the numbers/email below and we will be happy to provide you will more details.
