Join botanist Séverine Cochard and artist Rae Story for a gentle nature walk exploring bees and blossom around Castlefield Viaduct.

Find out why blossom is so important for pollinators, then head back to the Viaduct to create your own small zine inspired by what you’ve seen. No experience is needed and all materials are provided.

A relaxed creative session combining nature, walking and simple art-making in a unique green city space.
