Kate is pleased to have been invited to contribute work to this year’s Hilldrop Charity Festival — a privately hosted event set on Hilldrop Farm, near Ramsbury, Wiltshire. This 24 hour charity event is known for its spirited blend of art, music, and philanthropy. This is the sixth charity event hosted by Hilldrop, and this festival will be a standout fixture in the rural social calendar, attracting a dynamic mix of guests for an experience that is elegant and energetic, with real purpose and in a beautiful setting.

Kate's paintings will be part of a curated art exhibition that anchors the daytime programme, which also includes a silent auction, simulated clay shoot, country fair, and luxury glamping. The event will evolve into a full-scale music festival at night, headlined by Rick Parfitt Jr and Massoke, with performances from Ladybyrd.x, DJ John Askew and others, all within this year’s vibrant 'Neon Revival' theme.

Funds raised across the event support a remarkable mix of causes. The primary beneficiary, Action Through Enterprise, delivers long-term support in Upper West Ghana through education initiatives, disability inclusion, and small business development. Additional funds will go to Stay Safe EUA, helping to provide summer camp experiences for Ukrainian children who have lost a parent in the war.

It’s a privilege for Kate to contribute work to an event so thoughtful in purpose and big in spirit. Tickets to this wonderful event are available at the Hilldrop Givergy site. And for anyone who cannot attend in person but would like to contribute, donations made via the event's JustGiving campaign will be doubled, thanks to a generous match from an anonymous donor, making every contribution go twice as far.
