SWLA at The Global Bird Fair 2024

The SWLA is at the Global Bird Fair in the Art Marquee. The fair is not just birds-it’s a celebration of the natural world and a great event to visit. There is a packed schedule of talks and lectures from writers, conservations, celebrities and experts. There are representatives and stands from conservation projects and organisations from all over the world as well as information about travel and opportunities to buy everything you might need when watching wildlife.

Our stand in the dedicated art marquee has a display of work from several of our artists including Richard Allen, Johnnie Foker, Brin Edwards, Esther Tyson, Laura Andrew, Wynona Legg, Harriet Mead, Peter Partington and Mike Warren. If you are visiting the Fair do drop by and see the work and chat with the artists. You can also see SWLA artists Chris Rose, Darren Woodhead, Nik Pollard and Carry Akroyd on their own stands in the marquee.

As ever we are holding our fundraiser original artwork draw. Tickets are only available on Friday and Saturday from the stand. Thank you to all the artists who contributed work. It is a beautiful display of the talents of our members. Money raised helps us continue our work including our bursary scheme.
