- Booking not needed
Have you enjoyed looking at the full-sized sculptures featured in the Wind in the Willows Trail at Tinkley Gate, Woodchester Park from 18 May - 12 July this summer?
How about a chance to design and paint your own mini-masterpiece to take home!
Each of the sculptures on display at Tinkley Gate have been designed by artists from Wild in Art to reimagine the Wind in the Willows characters as science superstars, conservation ambassadors and more! Wild in Art have created a set of paint your own figurines to compliment the trail.
Come along to a "paint your own" event to design your own take on Kenneth Grahame's characters. Kits are £15 each, payable by cash or card in the cafe.
You'll get to choose a ceramic figurine of either Toad, Badger, Ratty or Mole along with a set of paints and a brush to use. Either set up on the specially provided painters table in the shaded barn area or take your set with you to paint at home.
No pre-booking required, just turn up at the cafe to pay for your figurine. (while limited stocks last)
What kind of wildlife warrior will your sculpture be?
