Wonders of the Wild - A Community-Created Celebration of Nature
11th July – 9th August 2026
The Old Parcels Office Artspace, Scarborough
This summer, the Old Parcels Office Artspace invites visitors to discover Wonders of the Wild, a vibrant exhibition celebrating the beauty, diversity and wonder of the natural world through art, creativity and community collaboration.
The exhibition brings together 6 local artists and 7 community groups who have worked side-by-side to create an extraordinary collection of large-scale sculptures inspired by flora and fauna. Using recycled and repurposed materials, the artworks explore the wildlife, landscapes and ecosystems found along the Yorkshire Coast, while encouraging conversations about creativity, sustainability and our connection to nature.
The collaborative projects feature:
• Bobby Hick working with Sparks project
• Charlotte Hill working with Scarborough & District Mencap
• Simon Doughty working with the The Rainbow Centre, Scarborough
• Dan Parker Parker Props and Art working with Gallows Close Centre
• Katie Gill The Curious Caboodle working with Cross Lane Mental Health Unit
• Jayne Shipley working with Scarborough Hall Care Home + Yorkshire Coast Sight Support
Together, the artists and participants have transformed everyday discarded materials into imaginative creatures, plants and habitats, creating an exhibition that celebrates both the natural world and the power of community creativity.
Huge thanks to Rob and Elise Fletcher for making the tree for Scarborough Hall Care Home + Yorkshire Coast Sight Support work to be displayed on.
