AN Oxford theatre hopes to gather together artists to create the largest single display of handcrafted items the city has seen.

Pegasus Theatre is currently recruiting local and international artists to display their wares at its Magdalen Road studio on September 7.

Community fundraiser and event co-ordinator Sasha East said people are coming from all over the UK.

She said: “We just love all things creative and imaginative and want to give as big a platform as we can.

“This year we hope to take things a step further by inviting artists, crafts people and artisans to exhibit original hand-made items from our building.

“We believe that this will provide the opportunity for like-minded people to meet, share ideas, learn skills, trade their handmade creative products and celebrate imaginative artistic craft.

“It’s not just about showing off what you can do, we hope it will bring artists together.”

Weather permitting the displays will be displayed outside.
