We are delighted to announce that Watch This Space will be working again with the National Trust to create a unique event at Canons Ashby on 16th and 17th July 2011. Inspired by a Sports Day that took place at Canons Ashby in 1879 the event will re-create elements of that day but with an innovative artistic twist, offering a packed weekend of sporting, artistic and heritage based activities.
WTS will be creating several new performance installations for the rooms inside the house whilst the grounds and gardens will be transformed into a Victorian Country Gathering. Visitors will be able to take part in a variety of arts & crafts workshops and of course you’ll be able to participate in some of the original sporting activities.
Prior to the weekend an extensive participatory program will take place, delivering poetry, craft and photography workshops, the work created will form an integral element of the weekend’s activities.
So make sure you put the date in your calendar and as soon as we know any more details we’ll be sure to let you know.
