The unveiling of the Bowie Bandstand in Bromley was a great success and it looks fantastic. The Mayor and local school children as part of our Proud Places programme showed off their gilding skills and a range of brilliant local talents sang and performed. The bandstand is now open to the public following its restoration. Our great thanks to Knight Frank who supported this project.

Restoration works on the Leaning Woman are progressing and we have had some brilliant Proud Places programme visits throughout with the young people able to try their hand at conservation. Alex Cardew, whose mother was the model for the sculptor, Dr Karel Vogel, was also able to visit the conservators at work as they restored the corroded iron armature and repaired cracks in the concrete. Work on the sculpture will be completed towards the end of this month.
We were thrilled that our Director Nicola and our Trustee John Phillips were able to join the King and Queen for the Creative Industries Garden Party at Buckingham Palace on 15 May. The King spoke at some length to Nicola about HOLT’s work and they discussed their shared commitment to London’s heritage, “so much of which has already been lost”. It was a glorious day with so many other brilliant arts & culture organisations and a chance to share their enthusiasm about the future of the Creative Industries.
