Comeytrowe: Civic Square Update

We’re delighted to share that the new Civic Square community space at Orchard Grove officially opened to the public in December 2025, just ahead of the Christmas break.

Since then, we’ve been proud to assist with the installation of two unique carved-wood artworks by local, award-winning sculptor Matthew Crabb — recognised for his extraordinary talent in creating awe-inspiring large-scale sculptures.

Now in situ at Civic Square, the two bespoke pieces include:

  • A striking ‘Green Man’ wood carving
  • A beautifully carved seating bench featuring butterflies, bees and flowers

These handcrafted pieces bring character, craftsmanship and a strong connection to nature into the heart of the community space. We can’t wait to see them surrounded by greenery when the square is in full bloom and thriving this summer.

It’s been fantastic to contribute to such a meaningful public space within this growing development — a project that will be enjoyed by residents and visitors for years to come.
