Endangered Animals Trail
This month there’s another opportunity to see my Endangered Animals Trail (originally made for SITSelect festival), this time at the Museum in the Park in Stroud. It runs during half-term, Saturday 15th toSunday 23rd February. There are more details here: https://museuminthepark.org.uk/calendar/2020/2/15/endangered-species-museum-i-spy-trail
More Victorians Coming Soon
Also over the next few months I’ll be performing my Growing Victorians in Your Garden show in a few different places. On March 14th at 11am I’ll be in the Anglican Chapel at Arnos Vale Cemetery in Bristol. More details here.

On Saturday May 30th I’ll be in Bath at the Museum of Bath at Work (the most Victorian venue I can think of in that Regency city – a really fascinating museum!) Time yet to be confirmed.
Then, on Monday 22nd of June, I’ll be doing a short performance in the evening as part of Clerkenwell Artslab at the Betsey Trotwood pub (just don’t bring donkeys!)
More dates will be added and I’ll keep updating the list on the Growing Victorians in Your Garden (Performance) page on this website.
The Last Few Months
Over the last few months I’ve been making a hand-made book (of sixteen pages) to go with the Growing Victorians show and to sell afterwards.
The plan is to keep expanding the material in the book as I perform the show all round the place, until it finally becomes a full-length illustrated book. (This way I am also guaranteed to think about Victorians at every spare minute, which is just fine.)
I also gave my Victorians a little outing on Sunday (9th February) at the Museum in the Park in Stroud. This was part of the “Stroud Snowdrop Celebration” and my modest, potted Victorians with their gentle nodding heads fitted right in, I felt.
More Victorian news to follow (including plans for a pop up show at a local plant nursery).
Lastly, I am back using Instagram @billjonesillustration and will be putting up a lot of drawings and illustrations. So please do follow if you enjoy my work!
