The organisers then announced that a new woodland trail has been launched just in time for Bank Holiday Monday under the Hethersett Art Project banner.
I can do no better than to reproduce the following from the art project Facebook page which can be accessed at:

"Here at HAP HQ we have been very busy creating an art trail for you which opens TODAY Sunday 24th May at 12 noon, which we hope you will enjoy over the next few weeks.
In and near to the parish pit there are some hidden creatures, which we would like you to find. We are attaching a map with the official footpaths that has been sent to us by the owner. The current map is very low resolution so we are sending a higher resolution one next week (it’s difficult to get hold of such things during lockdown!) - My note - a copy of the existing map is included above.
The owner of the land has very kindly granted us permission to use his land but there are a few conditions. PLEASE make sure you look at the map and use only the displayed footpaths. All artwork can be seen from pathways so you do not need to walk through undergrowth to look for things! The land is carefully managed and a lot of wildlife lives here and needs to remain undisturbed especially now during prime nesting season. Dogs should always be kept on leads. Don’t walk across ploughed/ drilled fields or margins and there is NO parking on the roadside at the end of the footpath at Great Melton – the gate is in constant use for farming purposes.
Please, please respect the work as it has taken a very long time to make and we would like all of it to survive until the end of the trail in a few weeks’ time. There is a team of hedgehogs invigilating and having interviewed them for the job, I for one wouldn’t want to upset them.
We would like people to donate to our charity fundraiser too – we will be setting this up soon…..So if you’ve enjoyed anything we’ve done over the last month please do donate!
Creatures to find:
4 x beetles
3 x foxes
4 x hares
1 x bear
1 x winged horse
2 x squirrels
1 x dragonfly
