Children’s artwork inspired by the Narnia carvings
During the summer of 2020, young people in the area took part in our holiday activity to identify all 14 of the Narnia carvings on display at ground level in ‘Streamers’, an unused shop in Beverley.
Over twenty of them completed the summer-long challenge. Some of them even took inspiration from the carvings and submitted their own artworks, which we are delighted to display here. Many thanks to these young artists.
