Highlights include sound sculptures, outdoor classrooms and ecological artworks

Sound sculptures and interactive sensory trails have been place around a country park for a nature-themed event.

The Forest of Imagination festival at the former Entry Hill Golf Course in Bath features installations, sensory trails, performances and workshops for all ages.

The event, which runs until Sunday, is a joint project between Grant Associates and Bath Spa University.

Organisers say they want people to reconnect with nature, co-create with artists, and see Bath as a “city of imagination”.

There are lots of games and classes planned for people of all ages throughout the two-week event

Visitors can follow a trail of art installations playing music and other sounds.

Organisers of the event, which was first launched in 2014, have worked closely with schools and communities on the project.

Organisers say they want people to reimagine outdoor spaces

The event’s bosses said they hoped by re-inventing familiar spaces along the former golf course, activities throughout the festival will bring everyone into closer contact with nature and art.

Dr Penny Hay, Artist, professor of imagination at Bath Spa University and co-founder of the event, said the event is an “invitation for everyone to fall in love with nature through our collective imagination”.

“After 12 years, the magic and wonder of nature, imagination and creativity shines brightly in the Forest of Imagination,” she added.

The festival is based in an area with woodlands, grasslands and stunning views

Andrew Grant, founder of landscape architecture company Grant Associates, said Entry Hill was a “forgotten green lung of Bath with enormous potential”.

“By reimagining it through the lens of art and nature, we can create a place that inspires ecological empathy, brings people together, and shows how cities can respond creatively to climate and nature emergencies,” he added.
