Inspired by the natural charm and history of the former colliery site, local artist Frederick Worrell has joined forces with the wildlife charity to host the event on Saturday 12 April, between 10am and 2pm.

Funded by UK SPF, the Weetslade Arts Trail is a free community arts event open to members of the public, families, and art enthusiasts.

The Trail, which celebrates the natural and human world, was developed because of the local community expressing a desire to be involved in creative opportunities and led to the commissioning of Frederick, an artist and local resident, to collaborate with the community to develop a project which connected to the area. Resulting in the idea of a local art trail in Weetslade Country Park.

The four-hour event, which is a celebration of nature, identity, and community, brings together artistic expression and the rich biodiversity of Weetslade Country Park and has been a deeply collaborative journey between the Trust, artist Frederick and Helix Arts.
