As part of the campaign, two 8-yard skips have been transformed into vibrant works of art by renowned local street artist Nathan “Nyces” Murdoch. These eye-catching installations celebrate and highlight the work of four local community organisations, blending artistic creativity with a powerful environmental message. The featured organisations include New Ark Adventure Playground and City Farm, Up the Garden Bath, Railworld Wildlife Haven, and Children’s Links
On Tuesday, 27 May, these skips will be unveiled in Peterborough Cathedral Square and the public are invited to bring their used plastic bottles and tin cans to the skips. After the recycling has been collected, Roland from RB7 Art Centre CIC located in Queensgate Shopping Centre will transform the materials into new works of art to launch in Summer this year.
The Waste to Wonder campaign encourages shoppers, residents, and visitors to explore the installations, learn about the featured organisations, and participate in the movement for a cleaner, greener Peterborough.
Queensgate will also be hosting a variety of fun and educational activities throughout the May half-term, including Plastic Bottle Bird Feeder Making, Create Your Own Bag for Life, Artist Q&As, and more.
