A Bunch Of Wild

A Bunch Of Wild is a gallery tucked away near Hitchin that focuses on contemporary art and creative work. It's the sort of place you'd stumble upon if you were exploring the quieter corners of Hertfordshire rather than somewhere you'd plan a whole trip around, though it's worth knowing about if you're in the area.

The gallery itself tends to showcase emerging artists and rotating exhibitions, so what you'll see depends entirely on when you visit. On a good day you get something genuinely interesting; on another you might find it a bit sparse. It's not a massive operation - think intimate rather than imposing.

This works best for people who already have an interest in contemporary art and don't mind taking a punt on what's currently on show. If you're staying at one of the nearby campsites - Almshoe Glamping or Radwell Lake are the closest options - and you fancy a couple of hours poking around local spots, it's worth a look. Hitchin itself has enough character to justify a morning or afternoon wandering its high street and around the town, and A Bunch Of Wild slots in nicely as part of that.

Admission details aren't widely advertised online, so your best bet is checking their social media or giving them a ring before you go. The whole visit will probably take an hour or so unless you really dig deep into whatever exhibition is on. Not essential viewing, but a decent option for a rainy afternoon if you're camped nearby.
