A new creative arts project is set to explore midwinter in Malvern.

Turning Point, led by composer Liz Dilnot Johnson, will bring together the community for workshops and a live performance event in December.

The project, supported by Malvern Hills Community Arts Funding, Severn Arts, Malvern Hills District Council, and #UKSPF, will delve into personal and collective experiences of midwinter in the Malvern Hills.

Ms Johnson said: "This project is about connecting people and giving them a voice through creative expression.

"I’m excited to work with people in the local community to explore how art can express our shared experiences of winter and change."

Workshops will explore music, spoken word, and visual arts, reflecting on midwinter as a turning point in the year.

A free multi-disciplinary arts workshop, 'Bring Nature In', for those aged 15 and over, will be held on Saturday, December 7 at Malvern Cube.

The project will culminate in a live-sharing event on Saturday, December 21 at Malvern Cube, where participants and artists from the area will present original words, songs, and visuals inspired by midwinter.

The event will also feature special guests, including spiritual artist Vee Karuna and poet Amy Rainbow.
