Jason & his Argonauts by Jason Wilsher-Mills

Artist Jason Wilsher-Mills will exhibit 3 of his huge psychedelic inflatable sculptures, which depict larger than life characters, which have been created with disabled communities both in the UK & Japan.

The 3 ‘argonauts’ have been exhibited around the world, and are humorous, positive affirmations about disability and the disabled people Jason has worked with, over the past 15 years.

Spread Your Wings by Ruth Burrows & Hannah Price

Eastgate Green created with the local community at drop in workshops and group sessions. With the River Slea Kingfishers as our initial inspiration the wings will be created from hundreds of colourful feathers, illustrating individual hopes , plans and ambitions as we move beyond the pandemic and through current challenging times together.

Drift by Lumo Workshop (Nadya Monfrinoli and Louise Jones)

Lumo Workshop will be/has been working with over 90 local children to create large-scale tissue paper and willow lantern sculptures for a nature-inspired installation along the river Slea outside the Hub.

Look out around town for giant floating lilies, a group of bright blue herons, and a flotilla of paper boats, and be sure to join the lantern parade from Cogglesford Mill where you will see more large scale lanterns.

Drop-in to Cogglesford Mill on Saturday 21 October to make a festival decoration to take away with you. It’ll light up so why not bring it to the evening event and join the parade?
