As far as possible, we will aim to extend the exhibitions that are on display, to create an opportunity for visitors to see them when we are able to reopen. We are very grateful to our community partners for their understanding in enabling us to do this. This will include the Fairies Woodland Party, There’s No Place Like Home, and the Honeywood Embroidery Group exhibitions at Honeywood Museum.
 
Until then, we are pleased to be able to give a taster of all three exhibitions online with accompanying short films on our Exhibitions page.

Introducing Edward the Elephant!

5/10/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
Please meet Honeywood’s mascot Edward the Elephant! He has been developed recently by The Friends and local artist Helena Vaughan. We used an elephant because of that really popular photo of the travelling circus elephants in Carshalton’s upper pond in front of Honeywood in the 1900s. And, of course, he is wearing his red wellies because he does like going into the water!
​
Edward will be used increasingly inside Honeywood and on publications for children, so look out for him!

Carshalton Artists and Arts Network Sutton artists were recently asked to exhibit pieces of work that expressed their personal experiences of Lockdown. This was added to the Local Diaries project (run by Sutton Council) and work produced by Sutton South Hello to create the current exhibitions at Honeywood Museum and Whitehall Historic House entitled ‘LOCKDOWN ART: Creativity Released’.
 
Neil Vaughan, from Carshalton Artists, recorded an informal walk around Whitehall and Honeywood whilst interviewing Jane Howard, Sutton's Heritage Development Officer: Learning.
 
The Exhibition is now showing live at both venues, and visits may be booked for Honeywood Museum here, and for Whitehall here.
