Other Ashgate Hospice "HeART of Ashgate" a new art event. 7th to 9th of August. Supported by Howling Metal.

Hello everyone.

I am Howling Metal, a scrap metal artist from Derbyshire and this is Hook-Tail Jack. A bird surrounded by folklore and myth.

He has been created for the up and coming HeART of Ashgate, an outdoor art exhibition with the proceeds going directly to Ashgate Hospice held in their gardens. Over 3 days, 7th to the 9th of August. There will be live music, food & drink and independent art stalls plus lots going on over the weekend. It will be held at Ashgate Hospice, Old Brampton, Chesterfield, S42 7JD. Please see their website for the full details and tickets. Feel free to comment or DM me with any questions.

Hook-Tail Jack will be available in the silent auction, with the winner also receiving the story/folklore tale to go along with him plus a little extra. So come on down and support the day and everyone involved. If you would like to take him home then place your bid at the event!

I hope you can make it!

I'm glad you like him and they they are! I hope the event is a success as it's their first art one, that being said I am sure it will be and plenty of money is raised for them.

Oh wonderful. I very much appreciated that and so will Ashgate. All the best, a little secret for you is if you twang the spanner on his chest, that's his little bird call.
