After a successful opening as part of Mayfest last year, Bristol City Council and WECA have commissioned Broad Meadow to grow over the next 3 years. Spanning three city centre sites, this free public artwork invites visitors to relax among wildflowers and listen via smartphone to a sound piece exploring Bristol’s ancient landscapes and our connection to the natural world. 

Planted to celebrate the diversity of plants found in Broadmead’s historically wet and marshy environment, the meadow and woodland is open to everyone to enjoy as it grows in Broadmead over three sites, on Broadmead West (outside the Arcade), Merchant Street South (near the corner of Philadelphia Street) and Merchant Street North (near TK Maxx).
