The Gilded Gathering
The Gilded Gathering
Have you heard the rumors? Everyone is talking about it! The Gilded Gathering is a holiday celebration of art, elegance, and giving. You need to be there!
Hosted at The Gilded Vale at Clover Hill, the event runs from 4 to 8pm pm on Saturday, December 5th. The evening will feature local artists and musicians, culinary delights, and spirits scattered around the historic estate and grounds.
Located at 3110 Indian Grave Road in Happy Valley, The Gilded vale is a historic property that features the only round brick barn in the state of North Carolina! This event offers a rare opportunity to tour the barn, featuring painting demonstrations and a live musician. 50% of the proceeds from art sold in the round barn will go directly to support Caldwell Arts.
We will also host musicians and live artist demonstrations the Legerwood Surrey House, musicians and culinary delights in the Main House, and art for sale in the Pavillion. 100% of proceeds from art sold in the Pavillion will directly support Caldwell Arts Council's operating fund.
Some structures on the property date back to 1820! Docents will be available throughout the property to share the rich history and stories of the families who called the property home. At 5:30 and 6:30pm, the Legerwood Surrey House will host in-depth historical presentations on the second floor.
Valet parking is available. Guests should follow the drive to the rear of the main house for Valet parking, then will begin the evening in the Main House. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes to explore the property and festive Christmas Party attire. But, have fun and do you!
