Activities

Kids Space: ROXEHA

Dynamic Belgian duo, ROXEHA, formed by Roxanne Wegscheider and Denis Auspert, invite you to participate in their project, The Happy Trip, a 12m long doodle which includes funky characters and asymmetric shapes. This joyful mural comes to life as visitors can add colours and interact with it over the course of the fair.

Their art is influenced by encounters, travels and the shared experiences that shape their lives. They pour their passions into every piece, blending textures, layering patterns, and embracing bold lines that invite endless interpretations. ROXEHA has also created an A5 sheet that children can fill in and colour on the spot.

Our Kids Space is for art lovers big and small, where parents can enjoy creative time with their children.

Kids Space is open on:
Saturday 4 October: 10.00 – 17.00
Sunday 5 October: 10.00 – 17.00

*ROXEHA’s wall is open throughout the fair, and available to paint on.
