Bird Bath transforms beautiful buildings into restorative spaces by inviting you to pause, rest and ‘bathe’ in the sound of local birdsong.
Throughout the first week of the festival, St Peter’s Church in Preston Park will be open to the public and filled with spring bird song recorded in local nature reserves and recovery sites.
Come and experience the magic of nature’s song. You can drop into the venue or for an extra special experience join us for the Dawn Chorus Breakfast - or Dusk Meditation, Performance and Improvisation.
Sun 5 May, 7am–6pm
Mon 6–Sat 11 May, 11am–6pm
Sun 12 May, 10am–12pm
