On June 27th,  Potters Fields Park will welcome THE HERDS, a ground-breaking  public art event where culture meets climate action on a vast scale.

Presented by The Walk Productions, herds of life-size puppet animals will invade London as they make the 20,000 km journey from Central Africa through Europe to the Arctic Circle in an ambitious coming together to inspire action and reignite our connection with the natural world.

Find THE HERDS mid journey, occupying Potters Fields Park as they explore the urban landscape they’ve found themselves in.    The beating of a drum and a chorus of 100 children from local primary schools and an ensemble of children aged 0 -13 will call to the animals and ‘feed’ them breakfast  as they gather for a performance at The Scoop.   The performance is created by the Unicorn Theatre’s Artistic Director Rachel Bagshaw with award-winning authors Piers Torday and composer YolanDa Brown, with input from the children themselves.

We’re delighted to be in partnership with The Herds, along with our neighbours at the Bridge Theatre, London Bridge City, St. JOHN and Unicorn Theatre.
