What's on the Box?

100 Years of British Television
Giant Outdoor Gallery 2025

100 years ago John Logie Baird created the first television images in his lab and kickstarted the world of TV broadcasting. TV has certainly come a long way since then!

This year our gallery is all about celebrating the world of TV in the UK. Our wonderful volunteer artists have created huge 8 foot by 4 foot artworks showing a diversity of images from historic newsreels, children’s programmes to the test card.  These are located on buildings around Ashby to create an art trail

Boards will be in place from 1st May to 2nd July.

For full artist statements and inspiration pick up a special limited edition souvenir brochure during the festival or download a copy here soon. Meanwhile you can also find a single page Trail Map or follow the trail using the Visit Leicestershire App.
