The Event

The Queen’s Drawers. Celebrating the Queens Platinum Jubilee In Adams!! On Friday 3 June and Saturday 4 June we were in a celebratory mood. We held two open days for everyone to come and see the all of the amazing artworks created by you all, over the five recent workshops....pewter casting, willow weaving, secret tea party making, leatherwork and poetry. Adams was bedecked with handmade bunting both inside and out....bunting from Highfield Academy students, Maggie from the W.I and unique pom- pom bunting from the local crafters. Alongside some unique vintage and antique jubilee and coronation crockery, vintage jubilee programmes from the village, local posters and newspapers from the Adams Heritage Centre collection and that of the Littleport Society. The party mood was completed by the lashings of cake, scones, sausage rolls and drinks, home baked by our Littleport W.I. Lemon drizzle, carrot cake, sponges galore, cheese scones, fancy biscuits....all free to visitors. The exhibition was completed with the commissioned artworks from our local workshop leaders. Tabi’s Jubilee Crown made from jubilee clips, Sukie’s Green Child, Ian’s purple pigment holder and John’s specially written Jubilee poem. The Queen’s Drawers project was made possible thanks to National Lottery players through the Lets Create Jubilee Fund which was administered by UK Community Foundations on behalf of the Arts

Council.
