Schools are invited to share details of two free, family-friendly cultural events taking place across Bradford this September as part of Nature Season, a programme of nature-themed cultural activity spanning West Yorkshire.

 

Harmonic Fields

9-13 September | Baildon Moor | Free

Experience a unique outdoor musical installation as Baildon Moor becomes home to an orchestra of wind and nature-powered instruments. Created by composer Pierre Sauvageot, Harmonic Fields features an array of woodwind, string and percussion instruments brought to life by the elements and performers known as 'wind farmers'.

Visitors can wander through the landscape and enjoy this immersive symphonic experience against the backdrop of panoramic views across the Bradford district. The Bracken Hall Countryside Centre and Museum will also be open during the weekend, offering free drop-in family activities.

Flower Carpet

24-27 September | Centenary Square, Bradford | Free

The internationally renowned Flower Carpet project comes to the UK for the first time this September. Created by local artist Shiraaz Ali and inspired by Bradford's textile heritage and communities, the spectacular 29-metre-wide artwork will be handcrafted using more than 300,000 dahlia flowerheads.

Installed in Centenary Square, the living artwork will evolve over four days in response to its environment. Each evening from 7.30pm to 8.30pm, visitors can enjoy a special sound and light show illuminating the display. Free flower-inspired family activities will also take place over the weekend.
