Artist Cally Trench, one of the country’s most inventive games designers will offer tips to players trying out her creations during a fundraising event on Saturday, September 22 between 2pm and 4pm.

Cally has devised eight board games, each one original and playable yet also a one-off artwork.

Bearing intriguing names, such as Gravestones and Dry Bones, Shopping Spree and Trees Versus Axemen, they are for two-to-four players of any age and take up to 20 minutes each.

The unusual game-playing opportunity coincides with Cally and her artist brother, Nick Trench, staging a joint portraiture show at the Heseltine Gallery

Their Siblings Cannot Agree free show runs till September 29, displaying portraits of themselves and each other. Nick Trench will also be at the gallery during the game-playing afternoon to talk about the exhibition.
