The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Come to Honeywood Museum, Carshalton and from November 7th you’ll encounter an array of artwork inspired by Narnia. Explore clay figures and tiles, along with ten unique scenes from the story created in various media. A handcrafted magic wardrobe, a White Witch dressed in an original piece designed by one of our talented textile artists, and a wall hanging portraying a Narnian winter are just a few highlights. You’ll also find an intricately constructed castle made from recycled paper and cardboard, as well as painted scenes that capture the experience of children evacuated from London.

Each piece reflects the skill and creativity of our members, with some works crafted by our most experienced artists. We also collaborated with local talent: Adrienne Roberts contributed her expertise in ceramic figures and tiles, while Irene Caboni helped us create a large papier-mâché lion. This photo shows some of our members creating Aslan, the Lion.

The installation starts on Thursday November 7th and continues on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays until the end of February 2025.  Be sure to check that Honeywood Museum, Honeywood Walk, SM5 3MX is open before you visit to avoid disappointment.
