The Great Swift Name & Make

Event Date: 25.05.2026 – 25.05.2026

Meet our newest arrival in the Pollinator Parks Garden โ€” a beautiful willow swift sculpture crafted by the talented Sylvan Skills โ€“ Ruth Thompson. This stunning piece celebrates the incredible pollinators that help our gardens thrive, and weโ€™re marking its arrival with a special family event on 25th May, 11amโ€“2pm.

Little ones can enjoy a handsโ€‘on workshop with Ruth, creating their very own willowโ€‘crafted friend to take home. Thereโ€™ll also be storytelling, a balloon modeller, and plenty of creative fun throughout the day.

Children are also invited to take part in our Name the Swift Competition by submitting a drawing of the sculpture along with their chosen name.

A joyful celebration of nature, creativity, and community โ€” we canโ€™t wait to welcome you.
