New Sculpture Trail guide for Thorpe Meadows

You can now explore the Thorpe Meadows Sculpture Trail with our new Trail Guide and Family Activity Sheet. The Trail Guide has been designed by creative cooperative Paper Rhino and provides information on each of the 13 sculptures in the Trail, as well as a beautifully illustrated map. The Family Activity Sheet has been designed by artist Madiha Ashiq and is full of creative activities for families and groups to complete on their walk around Thorpe Meadows.

Both the Trail guide and Family Activity Sheet are available to download from the links below or from our Peterborough Sculpture Collection page. Alternatively you can pick up a Trail Guide from the Visitor Centre in Ferry Meadows
