 Rewilding Your Senses: Art, Nature and Nightingales in Sussex
 
In an extraordinary 20-year environmental restoration endeavour, Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell transformed 3,500 acres of barren farmland into a thriving wilderness. This groundbreaking rewilding project has captured imaginations far and wide, making the Knepp Estate in Sussex a beacon of ecological hope. Today, it offers not only breathtaking wildlife safaris but also hands-on rewilding classes for those inspired to follow in their footsteps. We'll immerse ourselves in this transformative vision, witnessing nature’s triumphant return.

Adding to the enchantment, Sussex is home to another magical experience: Singing with Nightingales, an initiative led by celebrated folk musician Sam Lee. By night, we’ll join him and a small group to venture into the forest, where music harmonizes with the ethereal songs of nightingales. This intimate, once-in-a-lifetime encounter blends human artistry with the wild, a poetic exchange under the starlit canopy.

Inspired by these remarkable experiences, we will express our response to this rewilded landscape through painting. In a nearby village, renowned as the most picturesque town in Sussex, we’ll let the beauty of nature and the charm of the town guide our creativity. It’s an opportunity to translate the magic of Sussex into our own artistic visions, creating lasting memories and connections to this extraordinary place.
