The designated routes for Eccles’ moving art installation, Mystery Bird, have been announced.
The “stunning” installation is set to visit 50 residential streets throughout Eccles this January to “shine a light on the town centre.”
The art show will be displayed in Peel Green, Barton, Winton, and Patricroft before culminating in a “magical” pop up moment at Eccles Town Centre, right outside St Mary’s Church.
The art show takes places on January 23-27 and will visit the different areas in Eccles each evening from 5-7.30pm.
The show will start with Peel Green on Tuesday 23, then Winton on Wednesday 24, Patricroft on Thursday 25 and Barton on Friday January 26.
Councillor Hannah Robinson-Smith, Executive Support Member for Culture and Communications said: “As part of our ongoing Events Programme in Eccles, Mystery Bird is an exciting project all about bringing people together; across the community and in the town centre.
“Communities in all corners of Eccles will be involved when this illuminated artwork travels down designated streets, and the event will culminate with a projection of birds onto Eccles Parish Church in the town centre on Saturday January 27.”
The installation features contributions from paper artist Helen Musselwhite, vocal artist Jason Singh, video projection artists Illuminos, local fabricators M3 Industries, and digital expert Jack Hardiker.
Local residents Mark and Elizabeth Charnley said: “Mystery Bird is something different as a neighbourhood event. It will bring ‘light’ entertainment for the people in Eccles to enjoy in their own way, with their family, friends and neighbours.”
