Wonders of Nature – Market Harborough Library and Harborough Museum

The Wonders of Nature! We have created a story garden like no other, in our exhibition space visitors are treated to objects from our collection, art works and a unique co-created story garden made in summer 2025 with children and families, inspired by 2025’s Summer Reading Challenge theme.

Artist in residence, Jessica Hartshorn ran weekly workshops throughout the summer. Each week explore a new creative skill and help us create an amazing community art display that blossomed and grew over the summer holidays. You can read more about our workshops by clicking below.
