Throughout the summer of 2023, members of The Arts Society South Devon set about creating a Children’s Trail in the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St Mary and St Boniface in Plymouth.
After an extended gestation, exacerbated by the pandemic, we were finally able to complete the trail in November 2022. I say ‘we’, but it was Gill Murphy, the East Midlands Area Trails Rep who finally collated the trail questions and answers for us. Thanks Gill! Our particular thanks, also, to past member Sandra McAdam who did the bulk of the work on the trail content, and to Chris Cooke who stepped in to fill in the last picture and detail requirements.
Volunteer Stories is a new monthly series by The Arts Society, written to showcase and celebrate the work of our volunteers.
Our volunteers offer their time and energy to help us preserve and celebrate arts and heritage. This month, Arts Volunteer Karen Hellewell shares her experiences.
TAS Kington Langley has built up a good working relationship with Rag & Bone, an arts school and youth theatre in Chippenham in the last couple of years. TASKL is now part of the ’arts scene’ in Chippenham where we have funded various museum projects, Outreach Banners, working with GWR and TransWilts on Art @ The Station, local artists and trails and with TAS Wessex Area we are currently working with Art Bytes and the Town Council to put on an art exhibition.
