Simon is currently promoting auctions throughout Gloucestershire to help the Antiques Industry Appeal to the Government to lobby for increased support and encouragement for the industry in this time of need.
Chorley's has an ongoing committment to the community and the wider public. The firm's business development consciously includes involvement at many levels on the charity, cultural tourism and educational side in the local Cotswold and wider three counties communities which we serve professionally.
Practically, this includes the use this firm makes of its saleroom facilities and networking ability to support local and regional charities as well promote contemporary artists and makers. The general public are invited during the summer months to the space in which we normaly hold our Art & Antiques auctions during the rest of the year. From July to September, the public can learn more about the artists and craftsmen of the past and present, and in some cases purchase their work.
In 2008 the firm was main and indeed founding sponsors of the now acclaimed Tewkesbury AWAKEN YOUR SENSES Festival. The firm also held three exhibitions at its saleroom, to highlight the Arts & Crafts Movement, to assist the monks in sharing the wonderful treasures of the Benedictine Community at Prinknash with the public and to promote the present-day artists of the Cotswolds.
Our Calendar of Events is updated reguarly and will tell you more about each exhibition. We welcome suggestions for partnership along the lines described above and would encourage you to contact the firm with your ideas or proposals.
