This week the Times Guardian can exclusively reveal what the Love Sheppey stones placed around the Island have been leading up to.

For the last four weeks, we have been printing photos of pebbles with numbers and locations on them for our readers to find.

The woman behind the mystery placed stones at Harty, Elmley, Shellness and Sheerness and asked whoever found them to keep the safe until this week, when all would be revealed.

In total around 2,500 stones have been hidden… and it has all been building up to a huge celebration of Sheppey’s talent.

On Saturday, August 24, the Island’s artists and crafts people will come together to showcase their work alongside a celebration of our natural, cultural and heritage

The exhibition, at Barton’s Point Coastal Park in Sheerness, will offer a unique insight into the professional creative community which is hidden away here.organisations.

All the work showcased will be by locals or people with connections here.

Highlights of the event are set to include an exhibition by a brass sculptor who has won numerous commissions around the country, a wildlife artist who has won national awards and a photographer and author who has had books of her work published.

There will also be a display of a collection from some beach and estuary combers who produce furniture, art, jewellery and sculptures from what they discover.

Many of these artists have never before exhibited their work on Sheppey.

There will be a fossil road show and members of the Isle of Sheppey Camera Club will have an exhibition.

Barton’s Point, which is hosting the showcase from 11am - 5pm, will also have paddleboards and kayaks for hire and the miniature railway will be offering rides.

A climbing wall and archery will be available to have a go and the model flying club will be making flights available.

It’s billed as a day to remember for all the family.

Anyone who has a Love Sheppey X stone should bring it with them to be entered into a prize draw.
