a little bird told me

Monday 12 April - Monday 31 May 2021 10am to 5pm The HopBarn Free

In celebration of the Countryside Higher Level Stewardship Scheme we have been meticulously charting bird sightings and songs - identifying 71 species of birds (of which 16 have UK Red Conservation status). In this first visual arts exhibition you can delve into a collection of books which showcase visual artists, composers, fashion designers, carpenters, photographers who share our appreciation of birds. ​ Young birds once they learn to fly after falling and retrying, take off to explore the world and on their journey, they find their soulmate before prospecting to make a home, either in a new location or returning to their point of origin. We– the third generation to care for The HopBarn - are not unlike birds in their life cycle having returned to this [Southwell Farm] after exploring the world. They have built a home and started to sow their dreams and aspirations on the land. So, why not take advantage of this opportunity to delve into our books and take a walk around the farm to see and hear the extraordinary, feathered friends who shape daily life for us at The Hopbarn.
