AN art group which has been running for 19 years and managed to raise more than £74,000 for charity is bringing an event to Penistone.

Hens Teeth Art will be bringing back their popular annual event – Art at the Altar – to St John’s Church this week.

Running from Friday to Sunday, the event will platform at least 50 returning local artists and craftspeople with a variety of stalls.

A percentage of all sales go to charity, with the group choosing to support the Trussell Trust Foodbank and Penistone Food Buddies in the past two years and having donated funds to Barnsley Hospice, Barnsley Foodbank Partnership and support workers during the ebola crisis over the years.

However, this year, in honour of founder Gillian Tyler who died this February, they will be donating funds to CJD Support, a national charity supporting people suffering with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
