Archive, February 2023: this report describes an artist’s pop-up exhibition and plans for Peak Village at the time.
Wildlife artist Jules Chabeaux was the first artist in a Peak Village initiative providing pop-up exhibition space for local artists. Her Wild Winter exhibition ran from 9 December 2022 to 23 February 2023, according to the artist.
Based in Trusley, Derbyshire, Jules Chabeaux’s Wild Britain Collection featured coloured-pencil artworks of native wildlife. She said the exhibition was an opportunity to discuss wildlife conservation and pledged 10% of her sales to Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
The 2023 report described a nature reserve beside the River Derwent, run in partnership with Derbyshire Wildlife Trust.
More pop-up exhibitions and pop-up shop planned for 2023 at Peak Village
Katayune Jacquin, site manager at Peak Village: “We were really excited to welcome Jules with her pop up gallery. The exhibition has been very well received by visitors who have a shared love and respect for wildlife. It can be hard for local artists and makers to find suitable spaces at an affordable price so I hope to hear from others looking for opportunities to display their work.
“Offering space to artists or small retail pop ups is a great way for Peak Village to support small local businesses whilst giving customers something new and interesting to see and experience. We will be looking to activate any free space we have with more pop up shops and galleries, workshops and events throughout 2023.”
New outlets reported in 2023
The 2023 report said Peak Village had recently added Coghlans Food and Wine Experience Centre, Wild Olive, Lambs Cakes and Bakes and Chatsworth Kitchen.
