Meet Basil 🌿 the newest member of the Wild City family! 👋

As you know, we take a lot of inspiration from natural materials in our workshops, and now we have the perfect foraging friend to join the adventure ❤️

I’ve been a bit wary of dogs ever since I was bitten very badly at 18, but Basil needed a new home - and he’s the friendliest boy! 🌞

We’re back! 😭❤️

It’s been 11 weeks since I had a pretty major hip surgery, and I’m finally just about back on my feet (screws and all!). Looking forward to celebrating tomorrow night at our first workshop since early July!

We can’t wait to see everyone again - and all the autumnal watercolour creations. 🍂🎨

Thank you so much for being patient with us over the past few months, for all the kind messages and well wishes. Taking the time to heal, be bored, and slow down has been a strange but interesting experience. I haven’t been on social media much, but I’ve been busy absorbing life, reading books and spending time with friends and family.

🗞️ Also, after 6.5 years of Wild City, we’ve had a little rebrand while we’ve been away ✨ new logo, fresh ideas and lots of exciting things to come.

We’re easing ourselves back into the swing of things, so please bear with us as we find our feet again… quite literally! 😂❤️ I’m still very much taking things slowly, but it’s SO lovely to be back.

We’ve missed you! 🌿🫶

Westergate students unveil 40m mural celebrating local wildlife and the environment

21/08/2026

🙌❤️🎨 This project was such a joy to work on with students and the local community - serving as an important reminder for years to come.

Young artists from Ormiston Six Village Academy expressed their love for nature and wanted to protect and celebrate the green spaces around them as well as local bins in Westergate village.

Artswork commissioned local artists to work with students in years 8 to 10 to bring the mural to life.

The finished 40m mural sits on the edge of the football pitches next to Aldingbourne Community Sports Centre.

In July, the mural was officially opened by Chair of Arun District Council, Councillor Jill Long and Councillor Sue Wallsgrove with representatives from the Parish Council, school and Community Sports Centre.

The project was funded by Arun District Council as well as public funding from Arts Council England and Aldingbourne Parish Council who helped to facilitate this project.
