"Bradford is 2025's UK City of Culture, and Wild Uplands is part of the year-long celebration that involves four new installations on the moors above Haworth, 10 miles west of central Bradford. There are pink marble butterflies designed by Meherunnisa Asad. On the ridge above, Steve Messam's 10-metre tower of locally quarried stone looks out over heather-purple hills. These works are dotted around the lake and abandoned quarries of Penistone Hill country park and a family-friendly guide charts a route around all four."
"The 2025 Folkestone Triennial, the UK's biggest urban collection of contemporary outdoor artworks, features new site-specific works by artists from around the world. It is free and open daily until 19 October, and you can choose your own routes using the map in the digital guide. No 15 is an old Martello tower containing Katie Paterson's extraordinary years-long project Afterlife. She has fashioned 197 amulets from matter embodying the harm caused by the climate crisis: fragments of charred wood from burnt forests, stones from islands menaced by rising seas"
Wild Uplands comprises four new artworks on the moors above Haworth, sited around Penistone Hill country park’s lake and abandoned quarries. Pink marble butterflies by Meherunnisa Asad and a 10-metre tower of locally quarried stone by Steve Messam punctuate heather-covered ridges. A family-friendly guide maps routes between the installations while a geolocated immersive soundscape, Earth & Sky, includes music by Bradford-born composer Frederick Delius. Visitor access is supported by the Bronte Bus and a 15-minute stroll past the Parsonage. Haworth’s Main Street offers pubs, cafes and locally distilled gin. The Folkestone Triennial presents international site-specific outdoor works including Katie Paterson’s Afterlife and Jennifer Tee’s Oceans Tree of Life.
