Beatrix Potter A Love-Letter to the British Countryside

discover the details

This summer, in partnership with St Oswald’s Hospice, we will host the 'A Love-Letter to the British Countryside' bench and a ‘fluffle’ of Seven mini sculptures as part of the wider Peter Rabbit™: ‘Tales on the Tyne’ art trail.

Created By Jina Gelder

Jina Gelder is a Newcastle-based wildlife artist who has painted for many Wild in Art trails.

This book bench, one of two benches on the trail, featuring a little Peter Rabbit™ sculpture, is a love letter to everything Beatrix Potter admired about the British countryside. Featuring faithful depiction of the author and illustrator’s famous characters, this bench, created in celebration of Potter’s 160th anniversary, is both beautiful and nostalgic.

Fluffles

We are hosting 7 beautiful Fluffles, created by children’s groups within our communities. Pick up the app code at our front desk until September 14th, and see if you can find all seven throughout the building.
