A colony of giant Bee sculptures took to the streets of Manchester for an art trail we’ll never forget…
Wild in Art and Manchester City Council brought Manchester together in summer 2018 for Bee in the City, one of the most spectacular public art events the city has ever seen.
Thousands of people discovered more than 230 Bees all over Manchester, taking in the city’s landmarks and undiscovered gems. Each of the 101 super-sized Bees was designed by a different artist and celebrated the unique buzz of Manchester, from its industrial heritage to its vibrant music scene. 131 little Bees joined the trail, created by the children and young people of our city.
Bee seekers saw the Bees again at the Farewell Weekend on Friday 12 – Sunday 14 October at the HSBC UK National Cycling Centre. Many were then auctioned off to raise money for the Lord Mayor of Manchester’s We Love MCR Charity to improve the lives and life chances of Manchester people.
