‘Rock and Royal’ Art Exhibition

A Greenwich artist is hosting a free exhibition of her work this weekend.

Rock and Royal is a collection of pieces created by Lorraine Elizabeth Hall – pictured above with her Bichon Frisé, Pippa.

The sixteen pieces will be on display in the magnificent surroundings of her fascinating home – often used for location shots by film crews and photographers – on Crooms Hill from Saturday through to Tuesday.

Rock and Royal is Lorraine’s first exhibition since personal setbacks, including a serious arm injury, had threatened her ability to express herself through painting but she was determined to recover. Lorraine explains, “Painting is my life. It’s something I have to do and cannot live without”.

Lorraine, a self confessed “rock chick” who has previously worked as a breakfast radio presenter and animator, has captured her vivd thoughts and creativity in a variety of materials for the collection including oils, watercolours and pen and ink.

You can meet Lorraine and view the exhibition at 14 Crooms Hill, next to the Fan Musuem, from Saturday 3rd July to Tuesday 6th July between 10am and 4pm.

Roller Disco 2010 at the O2

Roller Disco 2010 runs at the O2 arena in North Greenwich until the end of August.

The impressive roller skating rink is the biggest in London, allowing 350 skaters to dance on wheels to the sounds of the latest music from the charts as well as classic disco numbers.

The Roller Disco is great for a family day out, or for making it a night to remember, as Shalamar might have put it.

Daily Opening Times

Monday to Thursday: 12pm – 8pm
Friday: 12pm – 11pm
Saturday and Sunday: 10am – 11pm
