Ashgate Hospice

"Donating these paintings is our way of giving something back to a charity that means so much to our family."

One of the highlights of our new outdoor art exhibition, HeART of Ashgate, will be a collection of original paintings by Derbyshire artist and former university art lecturer Kenneth Waite.

His granddaughters, Emily and Eleanor, have generously donated the artwork in memory of their Gramps and as a thank you to Ashgate Hospice, who cared for Ken and supported their family through some incredibly difficult times.

Come along to discover Ken's beautiful work, alongside other pieces from talented local artists, all while helping support local hospice care. 💜
