With The Nicholson Museum & Gallery in Leek closed for refurbishment, its most curious resident, a wallaby once found roaming the wild moors, has inspired a new outdoor adventure in Staffordshire Moorlands this summer.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Peak Wildlife Park, a mob of colourful, quirky wallaby sculptures will be hopped into towns, villages and beauty spots across the Staffordshire Moorlands from 18 July until 5 September.
The free outdoor sculpture trail is in partnership with Peak Wildlife Park, Wild in Art and OUTSIDE.
10 artists have been comissioned to work with 10 community groups to co-design amazing sculptures:
EqualBase working with Creative Cheadle
Westwood College working with Chris Thompson
Tean Youth Club working with Jim Mcshee
Borderland Voices working with Rachael & Phillippa – Corcutt Collective
