The
Future of The King of Hearts
The King of Hearts closes on 24
December 2010.
However, we are happy to announce that the building will be staying open
under the new management of the Anteros Arts Foundation.

The
Café
The café re-opens in
Mid-February and will continue to bear the name “King of Hearts Café. It
will be managed by experienced restaurateur Jonathan Curtis, who has
created a new menu featuring a mouth-watering range of home cooked treats
made with local ingredients. Jonathan looks forward to welcoming you in the
New Year!
If you would like to get in
touch with Jonathan regarding the Café, or any catering requirements you
might have, he will be available from 04 January 2011 on 01603 620805.
The
Arts Centre
The rest of the building will
revert back to the medieval name “Wood’s House”, after its first owner,
merchant and Mayor Edmund Wood, whose dwelling it was from 1536 to 1548.
The Anteros
Foundation is a charitable organisation founded
by John Hemmant, of Bergh Apton,
in 2006. Their aim is to promote education in the Arts by running courses,
workshops and summer schools. Anteros Arts
Foundation initiated the East Anglian Schools
Portrait Prize in 2009.
Anteros’ intentions are to develop their
activities and to offer courses from beginners to intermediate standard, in
watercolour, oil painting, icon painting, acrylic
and pastel, drawing (life), etching, ceramics and some textile work. The
purpose is to enable people to acquire specific skills in Fine Arts and
Crafts, and to add a new dimension to their creativity. The Portrait Prize
will continue, as will contacts with local schools. The Gallery will show
exhibitions and whilst the Craft Shop is unlikely to remain in its present
state, a craft fair will be run before Christmas.
The opening hours for the
visiting public will be announced shortly.
