The Chilterns Neuro Centre’s Pop-Up Art Weekend in Wendover drew to a close on Thursday, marking its most successful year yet. The event, held in partnership with the Clare Foundation, saw over a thousand art enthusiasts flock to the usually clinical space, now transformed into a vibrant art gallery for the weekend.
Featuring over 80 talented local artists, the exhibition showcased a diverse range of artistic styles including paintings, sculptures, glasswork, ceramic and jewellery. The event also saw record-breaking sales, with art enthusiasts eagerly purchasing pieces to add to their collections.
One of the highlights of the exhibition was the display of edible masterpieces in the form of intricately designed cakes. Not only did these delectable treats add an extra layer of joy to the event, but they also contributed significantly to the fundraising efforts.
In total, the charity raised an impressive £21,000, which will be used to support its work in enabling people affected by MS, Parkinson’s, and strokes to live life to the fullest. The Chilterns Neuro Centre provides treatments and services to individuals living with these conditions, empowering them to lead healthier and happier lives.

Their dedication and hard work have helped us raise much-needed funds for our cause.”
