Celebrating young art talent in Midhurst
September 8, 2023
The winners have been announced for a fun art competition celebrating Midhurst.
Schoolchildren were invited to create artwork that showcases the things that inspire them about the bustling market town in West Sussex.
A central point in the National Park, Midhurst is the home of the South Downs Centre, as well as the famous Cowdray Ruins, one of England’s most important early Tudor houses that was visited by King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I.
The name Midhurst was first recorded in 1186 as Middeherst, meaning “Middle wooded hill”, and 800 years later it is still a place where wildlife habitats of woods and heaths exist harmoniously close to its busy centre that has lots of independent shops.
Supported by the National Park Authority, the competition was part of this year’s MADhurst celebrations showcasing creative talents in the town.
The winners were:
Brodie Beckerson: 7 years and under
Bethany Beckerson: 7 years and under
Elosie Sutherland: 8-12 years
Herbie Tetlow: 13-16 years
Congratulations to them all!
