The Wivenhoe Encyclopedia

Wivenhoe has long had a reputation for being home to talented artists. Some are creative purely for their own pleasure. Others do it for a living. And if we consider Art in its wider sense, then Wivenhoe really is blessed with a lot of talent. This page therefore highlights not just the artists we think of in the traditional sense but in the wider sense to include people who sing and play musical instruments.

This Section is for anybody living in Wivenhoe to share or promote their ‘arts’ talent. Click on the hot-links below to go to their page in the Wivenhoe Encyclopedia.
