An arts project has brought fresh colour to the Town Park paddling pool with a new mural inspired by the work of our children.

The mural was created by artist Els Morris with creative input from students at The Downs Primary School.

Els worked with four classes at The Downs over three days with the children painting letters and animals inspired by their connection with nature, which Els then brought together in the final design. In total, around 120 children have been involved.

Children visited on Monday 22nd July to see their creations come to life.
