ARTS & CULTURE
Let the latest pottery creations catch your eye at a two-week celebration of the art, featuring more than 60 local potters. Anglian Potters – one of the largest groups for ceramic enthusiasts in the country – holds its summer exhibition from 10 to 25 August at All Saints’ Church, Jesus Lane. Exhibitor and organiser Ian Vance said there would be something for every taste and budget, from traditional domestic ware to the avant-garde and cutting-edge ceramic arts. “With inspiration drawn from so may sources, the variety of work on show is hugely diverse. There’s everything from hand-thrown studio pottery to wall- mounted pieces, jewellery and sculpture. The exhibition is a riot of colour, texture and shape.” Entry is free and the exhibition runs from 10am to 6pm, 5pm on Sundays. anglianpotters.org.uk ANGLIAN POTTERS SUMMER EXHIBITION

LEPER CHAPEL OPEN DAY
A unique building in Cambridge – which happens to be the oldest complete building in the city – opens its doors to the public on 10 August. The Leper Chapel dates from 1125, when it was built as a place of worship for lepers at an adjacent hospital. In the 900 years since, it has been used as a bar, warehouse, dwelling and for animals. It’s Grade 1 listed and features architectural styles from several periods. Open from 12pm-3pm, it’s free to enter (donations appreciated). Two other properties run by Cambridge Past, Present and Future also have open days this month. Hinxton Watermill is open on 4 August, 2.30pm to 5.30pm, and take a look inside Bourn Windmill on 18 August, 2pm to 4pm. cambridgeppf.org
