In Local Shops Now – Things They Left Behind

22 Dec 2024

Things They Left Behind is a number of Art Works inspired by the play’s themes.  Now installed in Keatings, the butchers, John the Fish, Black Pug Books and Spill The Beans: the artworks created by the AUB students as a prelude to the performances, in various locations in the town centre, including independent shops. Coming soon:  Anthem for Old Road, to be found in the garden of a house in Old Road, Wimborne.  And an Exhibition, The Death Penny and other Memories of the Great War by Minna’s Artists at Allendale House, Wimborne.

Student, Daisy Orrell As a re-enactor, I am very passionate about history and bringing it to life. I am very excited to be part of the team working on What They Left Behind, and I hope I will be able to learn a lot from such a wonderful experience.

I'm very excited to see where this outdoor performance leads! Carol Childs I'm looking forward to working on this community project, and being part of a creative team. Wimborne is such a beautiful town, I can't wait to bring a part of its history to life.
