Sudborough Green Lodge
Sudborough Green Lodge is available to artists to stay and conduct research, develop new work or new collaborations. Our aim is that the Lodge will become a Laboratory for Artistic Research and Learning through:
- Taking a creative approach to the whole development and use of the site, allowing the unknown and unpredictable to occur.
- Inviting multi-disciplinary artists working in a range of art forms to use the Lodge as a resource for research, experimentation, developing and testing ideas and producing new work.
- Connecting urban culture with the rural landscape and rural culture with the urban landscape.
- Using the site as a resource for educational work with children, young people and adults.
The Lodge is situated within Fermyn Woods on the brow of Sudborough Green Meadow, near Brigstock village. It comprises two cottages, an out-building and temporary marquee.
The Lodge sits in the largest and richest biodiversity grassland in Northamptonshire, with medieval ridge and furrow ploughing. The meadow is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) due to the diversity of its flora species.
The nearby habitat hosts rare wildlife including: the Red Kite, Hobby and Siskin birds; rare butterflies such as the Purple Emperor and White Admiral; the great-crested and smooth newt; Natterer’s Pipistrelle and Long-eared bats; as well as foxes, badgers and two species of deer.
The remoteness of the Lodge is another of its distinguishing features, since it is only accessible by car along a hardcore surfaced road through Forestry Commission woodland, or via a foot or cycle path from Fermyn Woods Country Park.
