Wild Rumpus are working with Destination Chester and Storyhouse to produce a series of sustainable installations across the City of Chester between October 2021 and March 2022.
These installations will welcome people back into the city, inviting residents and visitors to explore the everyday extraordinary in the nature of Chester with a deliberate, purposeful and playful engagement with the natural world.
