‘The Outdoor Space’ - an urban undercover area between The Old Bath House and Community Centre and Tesco in Wolverton - has been unveiled as the first stage of an ambitious community project.
Unique creative work by local artists Timothy B Layden, Luke McDonnell, Sara Myers, Cathy Ebbels, Jill Kitchen, Iain Talbot and Gavin Grace along with more than 40 mosaic birds made in covid safe workshops by local families during lockdown has been shared on the walls of the pedestrian entrance.
"The collective creativity, time and commitment that everyone has contributed to this project is astounding. We hope that people that use this space, enjoy it and it makes them feel good," said project co-ordinator Helen Innes.

In the Summer of 2019 The Old Bath House asked local residents and businesses how they felt about the space.
Their responses prompted an ambitious plan to make the area more welcoming, safer and encourage more people to use the space. The Outdoor Space is already host to two weekly community fridge sessions, a regular monthly craft market and soon to be launched pop-up café at the weekends.
The Bath House team aims to encourage groups that feel inspired by the work to put their own ideas forward for occupying and using The Outdoor Space.
