Atkins Gallery is having a COVID Christmas Remembrance Tree where people can hang an ornament to represent someone they lost to coronavirus. From 1st December people can bring in bauble either purchased or handmade to hang on the tree. Also available are pre cut plain wooden decorations for people to decorate with the name of their loved one which can be collected from the Reception at Atkins Building.

The Christmas tree is a sustainable real tree which is being rented from local business Love a Christmas Tree who will collect the tree after Christmas and return it to the ground at their farm in Kirkby Mallory.

The COVID Christmas Remembrance tree accompanies the next exhibition in Atkins Gallery called Journey. Journey is a collaborative exhibition led by trainee art therapist Lyni Sargent, exploring the topic of human emotions and how art can be used to process the events of life. Lyni was motivated to create the exhibition after the passing of her father.
