A major new event will take place in Rochdale this autumn thanks to funding of £71,000 from Arts Council England.
‘Wild Wanders’ will be an outdoor environmental arts event for all ages, raising awareness of the climate crisis while developing solutions to protect the environment through learning and development activities with local school children, residents and artists.
It will culminate in a spectacular 3-night trail at Hollingworth Lake in October, a fun and exciting walk featuring live performances, magical sound and light installations showing visitors what it could be like to live in a world that is once again biodiverse, carbon neutral, beautiful and sustainable.
More details on the free event will be revealed later in the year, with Rochdale Borough Council working with multi-award winning international outdoor arts organisation Walk the Plank alongside the Local Cultural Education Partnership (LCEP), Culture Co-Op, Rochdale Development Agency, Your Trust and Hopwood Hall College and University Centre. Wild Wanders will also be financially supported by the Garfield Weston Foundation.
