The Golden Valley Sundial at Golden Valley Vintage and Country Fair
- 6th June
About This Event
The Golden Valley Sundial is visiting the Golden Valley Vintage and Country Fair at Gwatkin Cider on Saturday 6 June. To see and enjoy the work, you must purchase a fair ticket. Adults £10, children £5. Head to their website for more information. Created with communities across the Golden Valley, the county’s most remote, southwest corner, this outdoors installation combines sculpture, game-play and storytelling. Inspired by folk history, farming traditions and life in rural Herefordshire, the work depicts a series of twelve new folk-icons, and stories shared by members of the rural community. Made from natural and locally sourced materials including cob, wool and plant dyes, the work draws upon the area’s unique landscape, wildlife and historic monuments.
Visitors are invited to explore, play and interact with the artwork using handmade felt balls. Designed for all ages, The Golden Valley Sundial can be enjoyed casually or as part of a simple game.
Commissioned by Meadow Arts as part of Our Place Golden Valley, the project celebrates creativity, local knowledge and community collaboration in rural Herefordshire.
Our Place Golden Valley is a Meadow Arts project. It is part of the Our Place Herefordshire programme.
