Twelve pieces of art reflecting Farnham Heath have sprung up on a circular trail around the site in the Heathland Artworks exhibition which runs until October 30.

The project is a celebration of the heath, its natural diversity and beauty. Craft, fine art and design students from the University for the Creative Arts in Farnham have responded with artworks offering a different view of the heath that inform and inspire while being engaging and imaginative.

Heathland Artworks opened with a private viewing on June 29 attended by the eight artists with new works on the trail – Geraldine Lewis (Seeing Red), Robyn Jacobs (Breaking Ground), Betty Lau (Journey Into Nature), Stef Will (Deep See), Yunxuan Shi (Year & Years), Valerie Mclean (Sentinels), Alison Jarvis (An Eye Made Quiet) and Lottie Andrews (Heathland Dryads).

The trail also includes four works retained from previous exhibitions, by Katie Greenwood (Prayer For The Heathlands, 2018), Pat Small (Seeds Of Life, 2021), Will Pike (Coexistence, 2017) and Irina Prolygina (Green Line, 2020), plus an off-the-trail piece by Walter Bailey (The House Of Invisible Hands, 2019).

Heathland Artworks is being staged by Surrey Hills Arts, a partnership between Surrey Arts, Surrey County Council and the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It aims to inspire people to enjoy the heath landscape – managed by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds – through the arts to promote heritage, health and tourism.

There are free heathland activities taking place at Caesar’s Camp on the Surrey-Hampshire border on Friday, July 29 as part of the Thames Basin Heaths Partnership’s Heath Week 2022.

From 11am to 2pm the Wildfire Roadshow drop-in session offers the chance to explore a fire engine, meet firefighters and find out how to help spread the fire prevention message.

Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome.

And from 4.30pm to 5.30pm there will be a Mindfulness Walk – an opportunity to slow right down, engage the senses and become immersed in a wonderful landscape.

It is suitable for any adult or child able to walk one-and-a-half miles. No dogs are allowed.
