Mel said: “Femmes of the Fens is a great opportunity to celebrate positive female role models from our county, whilst raising money for an extremely important cause.”

The gallery is open from 10am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday, and 10am to 4pm on Sunday. Some pieces exhibited are available for purchase.

Lucy King, refugee project manager for WLDAS, said: “We are truly grateful for the funding that Femmes of the Fens are generating.

“The money raised will help to significantly improve the lives of many men, women and children that are suffering or are at risk of domestic abuse, as well as raising awareness for the topic itself.”
