With the support of the local community and traders, Friends of Gipsy Hill have secured funding for an exciting project to install at least two lamp post banners, starting at the entrance to Gipsy Road, for the display of local artwork!

We are calling on all local talent (of any age) with a connection to the area to submit artwork that brightens the area, captures the spirit of Gipsy Hill and represents our great restaurants, pubs and shops, through artwork.

The theme: “eat, drink, entertainment”.

This pilot project is part of a wider initiative to promote the local community, our creative talent and our fabulous Gipsy Road!

We would like to thank Manuel’s, The Paxton and WLS (West London Security) for their support in getting this exciting pilot project off the ground.
