Broad Meadow Launch

  • Broadmead West Bristol BS1 3EA (outside The Arcade) United Kingdom (map)

Step into the lost nature of Broadmead with Broad Meadow, a wildflower installation and immersive audio experience by artists Sylvia Rimat and Charli Clark.

After a successful opening as part of Mayfest last year, Bristol City Council and WECA have commissioned Broad Meadow to grow over the next 3 years. Spanning three city centre sites, this free public artwork invites visitors to relax among wildflowers and listen via smartphone to a sound piece exploring Bristol’s ancient landscapes and our connection to the natural world.

Join Broad Meadow Lead artists Charli Clark and Sylvia Rimat on Saturday 7 June, to celebrate the launch and listen to 'Habitat City: Celebrating Home', a talk by Regenerative Architect Funda Kemal. Free family workshop in the afternoon (ages 3-10).
