We have transformed seven boring, dull underpasses into stunning outdoor pieces of art to be enjoyed by everyone.
Each piece of art was created based on feedback and inspiration from the local community. They celebrate the environment and community of the town and locally important figures, as well as some of the passions of its residents.
In this guide you will find out more about the artists who created the artwork and the story behind each piece.
There are also some fun facts, quiz questions and activities for all ages you can do along the way.
The trail was funded by Wychavon District Council, Droitwich Spa Town Council, Safer Streets funding from the West Mercia Police and Crime Commissioner and the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
A huge thank you to everyone who responded to the community consultation and took part in the design development workshops, as well as those on the project steering group. This included Droitwich Arts Network, Westlands Residents Group, Droitwich Action for Future Youth, Droitwich Spa Youth Council, Droitwich Spa High School, Platform Housing Group, Droitwich Standard, local councillors and West Mercia Police.
We are also grateful to Worcestershire County Council for their support and work to upgrade the lighting of the underpasses.
We hope you enjoy exploring these beautiful pieces of art as much as we enjoyed creating them.
Best wishes,
Droitwich Spa Underpass Art Project Group
