Arts event returns to World Heritage Site

A popular free arts event which showcases the work of new and well-established artists is returning for its ninth year.

Secret Severn, which covers locations in and around Jackfield, will run from September 6 to September 15.

Visitors are invited to enjoy artwork from more than 40 local artists while soaking up the stunning Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site scenery.

The event will include a main exhibition at the Footprint Gallery, Fusion, next to the Jackfield Tile Museum, as well as multiple open and pop-up studios in and around the area. All sites will be open from 10am to 5pm each day. 

Secret Severn chairman Rod Sheppard said: “We’re delighted to be able to place a spotlight on the beauty of art and the gorge once again.

“We’ve gone from a handful of artists in our first year to more than 40 this year, so there’s plenty for everyone to see and explore.

“The top-selling artists from previous years will be returning, and the event has also attracted a lot of new talent this year.

“We’re really looking forward to welcoming visitors and showcasing the fantastic artistic talent on our doorstep in a site which historically has been a place of great creativity, and still is today.”

Parking is available at Jackfield Tile Museum, and refreshments will also be available.
