Martley and Malvern
This intergenerational Martley project aims to bring people of all ages and cultures together celebrating the diversity of this rural community. It’s traditions; history and future are the focus for this innovative arts project that will draw parallels between the migratory patterns of the local bird population and the people living within the local community.
