A collaborative portrait displayed in the glass link corridor and visible from the road.
Artists from The Whitecroft Studio first created the portrait in 2012 to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. It is a combination of forty nine individual canvasses to produce this unique portrait.
The Whitecroft Studio are a group of artists, both local and from around the world, working together in a studio in Berkshire, benefiting from a tapestry of ideas emerging from their diverse cultural origins.
The Dash Charity are working on a new creative collaboration with Artist Amelia Pimlott and Norden Farm.
The Dash community will create some stunning artworks during workshops held at Norden Farm to celebrate creativity. Participants will decorate and fill a willow and tissue tree sculpture with colour and life, stories, hopes and dreams.
Dash have provided tutoring and support in a variety of creative arts to local families who have been affected by domestic abuse. The artwork produced forms an exhibition to showcase the stories of survivors, celebrate our Monarch’s 70 years on the throne and raise awareness locally of The Dash Charity and their work.
Dash are proud to be a community group based in the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead, a borough which holds so much royal history and of course has provided the place that Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II calls home.

Join Hundred Watt Club as they return to Norden Farm to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee with a burlesque and variety show that the Queen could only dream of!
Prepare to be teased by the cream of the glittering UK burlesque scene, to roll in the aisles at riotous comedy and be awestruck by incredible circus stunts. No two Hundred Watt Club shows are the same, so expect the unexpected, but be ready for a good old-fashioned, bawdy and champagne soaked variety show all tied up in a feisty, tongue in cheek ribbon!
Starring sparkling, elegant showgirl Serafina Hart and featuring rubber faced music comedian Elliot Mason. With stunning Bollywood inspired burlesque artist Pat Elle with mind boggling circus stunts from human pretzel Bella Diosa. Hosted by mouthy North Eastern prize export Cheryl Coal.
The Lowdown: Not for the fainthearted, this show employs and embraces adult themes, strong language and partial nudity with gusto. No refunds if it's simply 'not to your taste'!! Over 18s only. Glamorous, vintage attire is encouraged (we love it when you dress up!) but not enforced; wear what you're comfy in. Show starts at 8pm and includes an interval.
