Mapping Connections - Drop in Arts Activity

We are so excited to announce our project, Mapping Connections, in Shepton Mallet.
Mapping Connections – Drop-in Arts Activity
June 13 @ Collett Park Day
June 28 @ 10:00am – 3:00pm Shepton Library
July 28 @ 1:00pm - 4:00pm Shepton Library
Where are YOU from? Where’s your family from? What places have shaped who you are? Drop in any time and add your story to a large, collaborative artwork mapping the cultural roots of Shepton Mallet — from just down the road to the other side of the world. Whether your family has been in Somerset for generations or you arrived last year, whether your roots are in Poland, Portugal, Punjab or Pilton — everyone has a connection worth celebrating.
Come and get yours on the map. Make something, share a story, and take home your own personal culture map too. No experience needed. All ages welcome. Just turn up.
The finished culture map will be exhibited at Somerset Art Weeks Festival 2026 and permanently displayed in Shepton Mallet.
A project by Bite The Apple CIC.
With thanks to Shepton Mallet Town Council & Shepton Mallet Library.
