Clitheroe's Silverwoods Auctions upcycles its act for Rosemere

A series of charity upcycling workshops – the trend for restoring and renovating a range of antique items to give them a new lease of life – are being held at Clitheroe antiques auction house Silverwoods in aid of Rosemere.

The workshops are led by Silverwoods’ saleroom experts, who share ideas on how to give pieces a contemporary twist. Their popularity means there are already more workshops planned with the next one due to take place on November 12th, from 2 to 4-30pm. Places cost £15 with all proceeds to Rosemere Cancer Foundation.

Olivia Assheton, of Silverwoods, said: “We have a longstanding relationship with Rosemere Cancer Foundation. We already effectively act as its local charity shop by waiving a large proportion of our fees to auction items donated by the charity’s supporters and this has raised more than £8,000 so far. The workshops are a continuation of our commitment to help Rosemere Cancer Foundation raise funds.
