Visitors may have noticed several large red cubes appear on the grass in the Cathedral’s Inner Close this week. Whilst they may look unusual, these are temporary water weights that are playing an important role in preparations for the Home & Garden Festival, part of the Wild! Festival of Flowers & Nature, which takes place from 15 to 19 September.

The water-filled units (pictured below) will be used to safely secure marquee infrastructure for the Home & Garden Festival. The marquee will house a range of exhibitors showcasing handmade designs, food and drink, art, beauty products, fashion and soft furnishings.
