Paws, Claws, Tales & Roars

For the first time Brian Wildsmith’s personal collection of over 40 colourful original illustrations, early works, drawings and paintings will be on display in the beautiful setting of the Cooper Gallery.

The walls will be filled with colour and vivid characters. It’s a perfect destination for art lovers of all ages and younger visitors can enjoy the specially created forest activity area ‘Brian’s Wild Wood’, upstairs in the Sadler Room.

Brian’s Wild Wood

Brian Wildsmith loved to be outdoors in nature with his sketchbook, pencils and paints. He would observe the world around him, then using his imagination, create wonderful stories for young people (and old people) to enjoy.

Brian’s Wild Wood is a place to read, create or simply relax and enjoy the surroundings inspired by Brian’s Wonderful World. Come along and find out for yourselves.
