Mark Carwardine

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at Ashton Court Mansion on 26 September 2019. Over 100 friends and supporters attended and all were spellbound by Mark’s highly entertaining illustrated talk of his many and varied wild adventures. We raised almost £1,500 from the event.

Very many thanks to:

  • Mark for his time and energy helping us to raise funds
  • Everyone who came to support the event or help organise
  • Those who couldn’t come but sent donations
  • Artspace Lifespace for the use of the Mansion
  • All those who donated raffle prizes, including Bristol In Sight (hop on hop off open top bus tours), Majestic Wine in Portishead, Stanfords of Bristol, Doug Allen, Mark Carwardine and several trustees.

Ashton Court Mansion is managed by Artspace Lifespace, a Registered Charity (No 1168150) that works to secure and re-cycle interesting, unusual and often difficult vacant buildings as vibrant self-sustainable, affordable, creative and inclusive multi-use art venues.
