Peacock HQ is delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted for a Wiltshire Life Award! Specifically the The Arts, Culture & Music Award for Groups. The Wiltshire Life Awards are organised by Wiltshire’s leading county magazine @wiltshirelifemag There are three nominees in each category, and this year we are up against Marlborough Literature Festival and the Wiltshire Music Centre. Tough competition! But it is the hard work and talent of our artists that has quite rightly been recognised by the judging panel and so we are thrilled to have been shortlisted. As always, a great big thank you to our exhibitors first and foremost – you make the Trail what it is. And thank you to our sponsors and everyone else who supports us, big or small, it all counts. The Peacock Committee will be attending the awards in March – fingers crossed for us, and we will report back on the results!

If you were tuned into BBC Wiltshire just now you’ll have heard Olivia de Rivaz and artists at the Barn Gallery in Kington Langley with BBC Wiltshire on their Treasure Hunt....so far all they’ve found are scones and jam- served between 3 and 6 pm today! Great to hear such a fantastic shout out for the trail - thank you BBC Wiltshire. @oliviaderivaz @bbcwiltshire @churchfarmliving #peacockartstrail2019 #TW #openstudio #wiltshireart #chippenham #corsham

It’s the final day of the Peacock Arts trail today. The weather is pretty wet but you will be sure of a warm welcome in every one of our 46 locations. Many of our artists are offering activities that you can ‘take part’ in & warming tea & cake. Look on line, plan your route, grab your family, friends & neighbours and head out to see our incredible artists & makers.

Second weekend here we come! The first half of the week has flown by and we're gearing up for a busy second weekend! Peacock HQ has been blown away by the talent on display out there and the hard word and dedication of our artists - a massive thank you to them!

What 3 words sum up #peacockartstrail2019 for you? That’s what Sue Davies will be asking Peacock HQ at 9.45am this morning. Tune in to @bbcwiltshire to hear what we think!

And so we have lift off! Thank you @towncouncilcorsham for a fantastic launch party this evening. Wishing all our Peacock artists a successful week ahead and huge thanks to our sponsors and supporters for your generosity. @heywoodprep @hunterfrenchcorsham @wiltshirecouncil @towncouncilcorsham and Box Parish Council

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS. We are delighted to have been able to organise our very first community project for the 2019 Peacock Arts Trail. Masterminded by the wonderful Rachael Holtom, a group of older people have produced artwork inspired by the phrase ‘A Walk in Corsham Park’. They have worked with two of our artists – Rachel Heard @rachelheardart and Sam Perry @sam.perry.art to create some very impressive art as well as have lots of fun and laughter on the way! You can enjoy the exhibition of the ‘Creative Connections’ group everyday during the Peacock Arts Trail at Corsham Town Hall, 10am – 3pm. Some images from the project can be found stored in our highlights archive Creative connections. We are very grateful to Wiltshire Council’s Health and Wellbeing Board for funding this project; to @towncouncilcorsham for their kind support and to the customers of @waitroseandpartners (Melksham) for donating via the green token scheme. @rachholtom100 ❤️. #peacockartstrail #peacockartstrail2019 #wiltshirearts #openstudios2019 #wiltshirelife #thisisourcommunity #artmatters #healingart #communityart #corsham #TW
