Stephen Metcalfe MP judges annual Children’s Art Competition at Wat Tyler Country Park


Stephen Metcalfe, the local MP for South Basildon and East Thurrock attended and judged the Children’s Art Competition at War Tyler Country Park.

The competition, now an annual event in the local community, is organised by Lisa Smith and the Laboratory Art Studio.

This year’s theme was the ‘Battle of Britain versus the Battle of Waterloo’, and included three categories, including:  ages 4-7, ages 8-11, and 12+.

Stephen Metcalfe commented: “It was great fun to attend and judge this year’s annual Laboratory Art Studio Children’s Art Competition."

“All of the entries were very unique and it was particularly interesting to see all of the children’s different interpretations of such a particularly poignant theme.”

“All of the entries were a huge credit to the talent and dedication of the local children we have here in the area.”

Stephen Metcalfe, was also joined by two others judges, Jo Cullen and Sue Barnfield.
