HALE-based children’s arts club Parsley Pie is celebrating 15 years in business. The brainchild of professional artist, Jenny Bent, the club offers art classes, workshops and parties for children from the ages of 12 months-18 years. The success of the business has seen two new Parsley Pie clubs open in Stockport and Whitefield.

Jenny said: “Since day one, the ethos at Parsley Pie has been about giving children the space and the time to be spontaneous explore who they are, how they feel about things and just to make a mess.”

Parsley Pie is run from Jenny’s art studio in Hale.

After studying art at South Trafford College, Jenny juggled a career as an artist and a professional dancer. She set up Parsley Pie in 2001 and has inspired thousands of children from across the North West, many of which return year after year.

To mark the 15th anniversary, Jenny is holding an art exhibition in Hale Library, May 3 - 23, showcasing pieces of artwork from her students.
