Wild Imagination Winter Trail
2025-01-24 10:00 - 2025-01-26 16:00 | Croome Park, High Green, Worcester, Worcs, WR8 9DW
Brought to life by artist Sarah Taylor Silverwood in partnership with young people from Pershore, embark on an outdoor adventure to discover all the fantastical characters.
Sarah worked with youngsters from Pershore to explore Croome’s landscape and plants, including some of those featured in the Hortus Croomensis, a guide to Croome’s vast and varied plant collection written by Head Gardener William Dean 200 years ago. Participants responded to the theme by drawing inspiration from nature, gathering drawings and imagining wild and wonderful characters that were brought to life by the artist.
Join the characters on their adventure as they roam across Croome’s gardens in this year’s outdoor winter trail – how many will you discover?
This event is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue. Booking is not required.
This project is generously supported by the Tony Brooks legacy and public funding from Arts Council England and The Elmley Foundation.

Wild Imagination Exhibition (Animation) with Sarah Taylor Silverwood
2025-01-24 11:00 - 2025-03-02 16:00 | Croome Park, High Green, Worcester, Worcs, WR8 9DW
The animation is a creative response to Croome’s “Pages from Nature” theme, inspired by the Hortus Croomensis, a comprehensive guide to the estate’s abundant and exotic plant collection written by William Dean, who was Head Gardener at Croome back in 1824. Sarah worked with young participants from the local area to examine some of the flora found in William Dean’s publication that still thrive today. They gathered drawings and captured sounds that the artist transformed into characters that go on a wild adventure across Croome’s gardens.
Field recordings and observations from the participants have been produced into an accompanying soundtrack produced by artist Anna Palmer.
Entry to the exhibition (animation) is free, but normal admission charges apply for the venue. Booking is not required.
This project is generously supported by the Tony Brooks legacy and public funding from Arts Council England and The Elmley Foundation.
