Steal £5,000 worth of art

Come to Standon Calling for the weekend and you could walk home with a piece of art worth five times the amount your ticket cost. Artist Alice Llewellyn’s latest work involves etched interpretations of five of the most iconic record covers of all times. We have 25 limited-edition prints of these on site and are going to let you steal them as part of a murder mystery game. Over the weekend, the Heritage Arts Company will be recruiting people for the Robber Gang and the Standon Calling Constabulary.

“Being part of a real art theft is going to be a great caper – and the fact you could walk home with a £200 original print will be electric,” says Tim from the Heritage Arts Company. “We’re revisiting the great tradition of good-natured dishonesty and deception – something Alice’s work absolutely suggests.”

Word is that Saturday night is all right for stealing. Baker Street is the backdrop and it now features a constabulary, a private investigator’s darkroom, a tailor, Baker Street railway station, a bank HQ, Sweeney Todd Barbershop’s, and finally, an art gallery.
