HUNGRY hospital visitors have become art gallery visitors thanks to a new exhibition.

Works by art group Cray Creative are on display in the dining room at Orpington Hospital, Sevenoaks Road, Orpington, until the end of October.

The exhibition features drawings and paintings by the group which meets weekly at the Cotmandene Centre, Cotmandene Crescent, St Pauls Cray.

Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust arts co-ordinator Josie Aston said: "Art is so important in the hospital setting. It stimulates thought, feeling and communication and contributes to a positive experience of the hospital for the whole community.

"We are grateful to Cray Creative for the work they have provided and hope the exhibition will be enjoyed by visitors and staff alike."
