New 'Wild Art' exhibition celebrating nature and local creative talent set for Peterborough this May
A new community-led exhibition celebrating wildlife and showcasing local artists will take place in Peterborough this spring.
The Wild Art Exhibition 2026 will be held at Railworld Wildlife Haven from May 24 to 31 – featuring amateur artists, photographers and makers from the area.
It is being presented by Community Clickers, Peterborough Together Project, and Peterborough Embroidery Society, in collaboration with Railworld Wildlife Haven - which is providing the venue to support local creativity.
A spokesperson for Peterborough Together said: “The exhibition aims to highlight emerging and lesser-known creatives from Peterborough and surrounding areas, offering them a platform to showcase their work and gain recognition within the community. Inspired by the theme of “Wild Art,” the exhibition explores interpretations of nature, wildlife and the environment through a variety of artistic mediums.
“The exhibition will launch with a special Car Show on Saturday 24th May from 10.30am, creating a vibrant and engaging opening event for visitors.”
Organised with support from Abandoned City Camo Crew, the car show will feature a range of classic and modified vehicles, bringing together art and automotive culture in a unique community setting. Visitors on the first day will be able to experience both the exhibition and the car show together.
The founder of Peterborough Together Project, Dorota Trajdos said: “This exhibition is about giving a platform to people in our community who are passionate about creativity but don’t always get the opportunity to be seen. Wild Art is not just about art - it’s about connection, bringing people together, and celebrating the creativity that already exists around us in Peterborough. We want visitors to feel inspired, welcome, and proud of the local talent on display.”
Wild Art 2026 will feature a wide range of artistic work, including photography, paintings, embroidery and textile art.
The spokesperson added: “The exhibition is designed to be inclusive and welcoming, encouraging visitors of all ages to engage with art in a relaxed and accessible environment.”
•The exhibition will be open to the public throughout the week. The exhibition is free but the usual entry fee to the Railworld Wildlife Haven applies.
