When in Sleaford

When in sleaford... roundel

When in Sleaford… is a new art trail inspired by the rich heritage of Sleaford.  The trail features a series of bronze roundels, created by artist David Mackie, sited in pavements and on walls around the town. The artworks act as way-markers, mapping  out pathways through and around Sleaford and informing residents and visitors about existing public artworks.

We hope they will encourage people to pause and think about the locations where they are sited, whether it be a view, an artwork or a place to visit.

When in Sleaford… was delivered in partnership with the William Alvey Church of England Primary School, and David worked closely with pupils, parents and local groups to develop the ideas, sites and content for the bronze roundels. Find out more about the process of the designs being created on the When in Sleaford blog page.

David has also worked with William Alvey School on Project 72, creating a special artwork to commemorate the 72 local young men from the school who died in the First World War.

 Maps for the trail are available from from NCCD, Cogglesford Mill,  Navigation House and Sleaford museum. Family sticker trails are also available to purchase from NCCD, Cogglesford Mill and Navigation House for £1.
