Hidden Trail in Wantage


This is an exhibition I visited yesterday at the Vale and Downland Museum in Wantage which was put together by five young individual artists from the local area supported by the Oxfordshire Youth Arts Partnership Trust.

Hidden Trail is part of a wider project.  The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded OYAP Trust a grant to work with young people in Witney, Woodstock and Wantage to explore the secrets and treasures of the local towns.  This is a partnership beetween OYAP Trust, The Vale and Downland Museum, The Oxfordshire Museum and Cogges which inpires young people to explore the county's heritage.  It was an excellent exhibition as you can see from the photos above and the culmination was to go underground in the cellars of the The King Alfred's Head in Wantage where you can see the tunnels in the last of the photos above.

The Hidden Trail will finish on Sunday 4th December, but certainly worth a visit if you can spare the time.
