About this Event
Come and join us as we celebrate the launch of a new public art trail along the canal between Etruria and Hanley Park. Appetite and Canal & River Trust asked artist Anna Francis to create a permanent work of art along the canal based on how the community in Etruria feel about where they live.
For months the community has been giving us their thoughts and getting involved and now we’re thrilled to reveal the final piece: A Canalside Arcana.
A Canalside Arcana is a series of eight ceramic plaques lining the canal path from Etruria to Hanley Park that celebrate the nature that grows there.
There is also a pack of beautifully hand-drawn cards filled with interesting information about the flora and fauna you encounter along the way, plus local folklore!
Come and celebrate with us!
There will be so much to do at both the Etruria and Hanley Park sites of our celebration launch event including:
