If you find yourself in or around Manchester on 23rd April 2025, get ready to dive into the world of Jill Woodward, a true creative powerhouse who somehow managed to juggle being an artist, a nurse, a mother, and a grandmother—talk about multitasking. Jill left behind a treasure trove of art, from cheeky cartoons to delicate embroidery and everything in between. This exhibition is like a peek into her life story, featuring sketches of her baby son and her artistic musings on Manchester's impressive architecture.

You'll also discover her unique take on social issues, whether she was drawing court case observations or crafting whimsical cartoons to support Lollipop patrols. Join Jill's family and friends on 22nd March 2025 from 1pm to 4pm as they crack open this delightful visual diary. It's bound to give you a chuckle and perhaps even inspire a little creativity of your own, because who knows what you can accomplish when you wear so many hats—just don't expect to master embroidery quite like Jill did.
