Part of the ‘Arts Jab’ Creative Showcase Festival taking place that day.
Communities across the Forest of Dean have shown amazing
resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, by pulling together, mucking
in and supporting each other.
We think that’s worth celebrating.
That’s why our Celebrating Our Forest project partners
Wyldwood Arts and Artspace Cinderford and their artists Lizzie Godden and Annie
Tyhurst have been working with a wide range of local groups and organisations
to support the creation of some incredible textile banners this summer.
See you there!

Listen again to this BBC Radio Gloucestershire feature,
where Wyldwood Arts talk about our banner project: skip to around 2hr 13 to
hear them chat banner traditions, celebrating the Forest of Dean and our love
of fabric glue! To listen go to: BBC Sounds
Finally, on Sunday 3rd October, the banners will be on display
at The Forest Showcase Food Festival, on
The Speech House Hotel ground - look out for the Wyldwood Arts stall. 10am -
5pm
