Join our Lewes District Council Ranger and artist Jacky Misson on this special Artwave Festival event to walk, see, find and create in this beautiful nature reserve tucked away behind Peacehaven Golf Course off the A259.

The emphasis of the walk will be looking at colours and shapes in nature and will include individual note taking and sketching plus a group collecting and collage or sculptural piece.

Basic materials will be provided, but do bring your own sketchbooks, pencils and paints if you have them.

No experience necessary, however more suitable for adults and accompanied children over age 10 years. There are a number of public footpaths running through the reserve and a network of informal paths.

Unfortunately, not suitable for wheelchair users or pushchairs.

Bollens Bush is located on a steep hillside the woodland is dominated by Ash and Elm trees and contains a number of ancient woodland indicator species. It has a remote and wild feel to it at any time of year. The heathland is flatter than the woodland and has large areas of gorse with occasional patches of heather. It is full of small grassy clearings or glades which are great places to see butterflies and wildflowers in summer.
