Behind Closed Doors

Only a few days until Claudia Borgna’s first public showing of her work created at The Rea Garden. To keep us warm on Friday evening there will be a small bonfire, mulled cider, hot chocolate rum and not forgetting our trusted wood burner.

Friday 6pm – 9pm, all welcome.

The Rea Garden is also open Friday 12th , Sat 13th and Sunday 14th 11am – 4pm for Claudia’s interim show.

project pigeon

Project Pigeon is developing well, artists Alex Lockett and Ian England now have their flock of pigeons who have all settled in to their loft. The pigeons are being trained to home back to the space and will be taking part in races soon.

Alex and Ian will be at The Rea Garden each Sunday from 11- 3pm during June until September, where they would love to have visitors down to discuss the project and pigeon keeping.

You will also find an invite to other events they are holding in the garden over the summer, as well as their flickr.

Half of a small fishing boat from Caithness made its way to The Edge for Island Life. On Saturday it made its final voyage across Digbeth from the Edge to The Rea Garden, however its final journey was made on a trolley – not via The River Rea.
