A Kent-based estate agent is set to play host to an art event.

It will be held at Dockside Property Services’ branch in Gillingham.

It will be held from 1-4pm this Saturday, March 7, and will showcase the work of artists Meenatchi Gopal and Beverley Bunn.

Explaining why they had decided to host the exhibition, Tiffany Scott, of Dockside Property Services, based in Canterbury Street, said: “It’s better than just pushing that we are estate agents.

“It lets people know that we are here without being so in their face.

“We have a face painter coming along, so the kids can get their faces painted, and there will be drinks and nibbles for everyone as well.

“It’s a chance for people to dip their toe in the water with buying artwork but also for businesses to do a bit of networking.

“We have had quite a few people [from different businesses] say that they will be coming along to it which is good.”

One of the artists, Mrs Gopal, from Rochester, said: "It’s a family event.

“They have a face painter and so many other activities going on for the kids, so it’s definitely something for the whole family.”

Entry is free but those wishing to go along must register their interest on Facebook.
