Visit Dudmaston Hall and immerse yourself in life in the trenches with artwork created entirely out of brown paper and cardboard. With life-sized trench walls, soldiers and even the rats that infested the trenches you will find yourself discovering what life would have been like for the soldiers during the war a truly moving experience.

The artwork has been created by First Year ‘Theatre, Performance and Event Design’ students from Birmingham City University on a budget of only £450, drawing on inspiration from the work of leading war poets Wilfred Owen, Woodbine Willy and Charles Hamilton Sorley, who all wrote about the shocking and traumatic horrors of life in the trenches.

The artwork can now be found in the Old Kitchen at Dudmaston Hall, where it will stay available for visitors to view Sunday to Thursday each week until the Hall closes on 31 October.
