Essex Book Festival: A Walk Through Canvey Wick

Essex Book Festival: A Walk Through Canvey Wick
David Blandy

16 March 2019 2.00pm to 4.30pm

As part of the annual Essex Book Festival, join artist David Blandy for a walk around the fascinating setting of Canvey Wick on Canvey Island, an abandoned oil-refinery turned nature reserve recognised as one of the most biodiverse areas in the UK. Blandy has been working with Focal Point Gallery to design a new table-top fantasy game, film and publication influenced by the site. To find out more about the project, commissioned as part of New Geographies, please see here.

Meet in the car park for the Canvey Wick Nature Reserve off Northwick Road.
