Who’s Eating Who in the Garden? 🐛🔬

Curious about what’s really going on among the apples, pears and wildflowers? Join artist Feral Practice and ecologist Nick Hudson of Wildpace this Saturday for a free, family-friendly morning of exploring, discovering and drawing at Thornbury Community Orchard.

You’ll head out on a discovery walk to find minibeasts and wildflowers, then get up close with your finds using microscopes and magnifying lenses before creating drawings inspired by the tiny world around us. 🔎🎨

The workshop is part of Growing in Thornbury, a project contributing to a new public art commission by Bricks, exploring local food, nature and the community growing spaces of Thornbury.

📅 Saturday 29 August | 10am–1pm
📍 Thornbury Community Orchard
🎟️ FREE | All ages welcome | Max 30 places

You can book a place if you’re arriving at 10am, or drop in during the session if there’s space. Bring a picnic lunch — drawing materials, cold drinks and biscuits are provided!

A lovely way to spend a Saturday morning, get stuck into nature and help inspire a new piece of public art for Thornbury. 🌱

This summer, St Anne’s House tenant and artist Em Williams has taken over the Artist’s Wall with Lines of Response: an interactive installation inviting visitors of all ages to explore, play and make.

At the centre is Navigation (Holding Pattern) (ii) (2026), a wire sculpture made from rusted wire and nails. The work responds to pressure, movement and its surroundings, shifting and adapting to each space it inhabits.

But this isn’t an installation you just look at 👀

Visitors are invited to respond through drawing, writing, making marks or simply following their curiosity. Free materials and prompts are available, alongside a collaborative response wall that will keep growing throughout the exhibition.

📅 Until 12 September
📍 Cibomatto Cafe, St Anne’s House

Come along, get curious and leave your mark.

Join artist Mailies Fleming tomorrow for a free creative workshop for 8–12 year olds, exploring the hidden corners of our everyday spaces through sound, drawing and mapping.

Bricks is delighted to announce Feral Practice as the artist appointed for our new public art commission at Lidl Thornbury, South Gloucestershire.

Working closely with Thornbury's community growing spaces and the people who care for them, the project explores the town's rich history of allotments, food growing and environmental stewardship. Through conversations, observation and drawing, the commission will celebrate the knowledge, relationships and biodiversity that thrive within these shared green spaces.

"Growing in Thornbury responds to the town's exceptional history of community allotments and its passion for sustainability. We hope this project will nurture connection with food growing and how it can support the life of other species as well as our own." – Feral Practice

The artwork is due for completion in Autumn 2026.
