AROUND 500 people visited an art exhibition in Marlow with the hope of snapping up something special for their mantlepiece.

The event, which started on Saturday and formed part of the Wycombe Festival, saw 378 items including paintings and craft items on show at the Church Hall, The Causeway.

Each piece of work was an original and Pat Begley, from organisers the Marlow Art and Crafts Society, revealed some sold for more than £100.
