My Wild Crafty Cathedral
Bristol Cathedral will host My Wild Crafty Cathedral, this Wednesday, consisting of free art and nature activities for children and families, run in collaboration with the Avon Wildlife Trust.
In celebration of Bristol’s year as European Green Capital and inspired by Avon Wildlife Trust’s project My Wild City, My Wild Crafty Cathedral offers children and families an opportunity to explore the many references to nature in the Cathedral.
There will be special tours pointing out the hidden delights; snails, colourful foliage – and a fox wearing a dress, as families are able to explore Cathedral garden. The garden, a tranquil green haven in the middle of the city, is often described as one of the city’s best kept secrets.
is needed now More than ever
Frances Taylor, Education Officer, Bristol Cathedral says: “Bristol Cathedral is filled with depictions of animals, plants and the natural world. Building on the success of previous Crafty Cathedral days, we are really excited to now be working in collaboration with the Avon Wildlife Trust and offering families a whole range of new fun activities.”
In addition, Avon Wildlife Trust will also be on hand, explaining more about their work across the city, running activities to help gardens blossom and grow and handing out their My Wild City garden starter kits.
My Wild City is a project being run by the Avon Wildlife Trust, which wants to make Bristol into a nature reserve. By working with communities and businesses across Bristol to transform gardens and open spaces, they hope to create a nature-rich city with wildlife right up to our doorsteps.
Matt Collis from Avon Wildlife Trust, says: “It doesn’t matter the size of your garden, or if you live in a flat, there are still lots of small changes you can make that benefit wildlife. By linking gardens, passageways, parks and other green spaces we can create wildlife corridors or ‘green highways’ so wildlife can move easily around the city.”
Crafty Cathedral runs at Bristol Cathedral on Wednesday 27 May, 10am – 1pm
