Recently two of our team – Becca and Kerry – spent a day at Manchester Art Gallery with our consultation stall for the work we’re doing on the Irwell Sculpture Trail. They had a fantastic spot in the main atrium at the gallery and interviewed over 50 people throughout the day.
The staff at the Manchester Art Gallery were so lovely and helpful – they’d already set up a table and chairs for us, and let us in early to set up ready for the doors to open at 10am.
We brought along the giant map of the Irwell Sculpture Trail and stuck in images of some of the sculptures. And of course, a jar of chocolate eggs always helps and is a nice way to thank people who stop to talk to us.

This is how we like to celebrate as a team at Pathways – pick a stonkingly hot afternoon, set out some picnic rugs and parasols in May’s garden, chill some drinks, prepare juicy strawberries and lay out cupcakes from a fabulous local cafe.
We tied up bunting, set out the blankets and made up a few jam jars of flowers picked from the garden.
There were scrumptious cupcakes – including a special cherry bakewell cupcake – from And The Dish Ran Away With The Spoon in Disbury, which Charlie set out on vintage plates and decorated with herbs and feverfew from the garden.
We were joined by current and past team members, caught up on what everybody had been up to and what our current projects were, ate cupcakes and strawberries, finished with a tiny glass of bubbly and some facepainting from Isla and Mimi.
If you’re looking for an alternative work party or celebration, or want to have a team meeting with a different, do get in contact with us at hello@pathwaysconsultancy.co.uk or on 0161 273 8235 and we’d be more than delighted to discuss it with you.
A couple of weeks ago a friend of ours, Patrick, moved onto a new job. He had been the receptionist in our building and we were sad to see him go – so we threw him a small leaving tea party in May’s garden.
There were picnic blankets and chairs laid out…
Pots and jam jars of pretty spring flowers and branches of blossom…
Sophia hung bunting from the trees…
Strawberries and cream…
And chocolate cake…
With a mix of vintage plates to eat our strawberries and cake from…
Here’s Patrick digging into his chocolate cake – we are so going to miss him but wish him the best of luck in his new job!
We were also accompanied by two fairy princesses who were face painting those of us who were brave enough!
We are doing a lovely piece of consultation and market research on the Irwell Sculpture Trail.
Soon to be relaunched, the Sculpture Trail runs from Salford Quays up to Bacup – approximately 30 miles along the River Irwell dotted with sculptures.
For our first day we were set up outside Salford Museum and Art Gallery on an incredibly hot day. Our stall, which has been lovingly designed for this piece of consultation, features bunting, pots of spring flowers, and a map of the trail.
We also set up an Easter kids activity on some picnic blankets – making Easter nests from hay and filled with chocolate eggs and a yellow chick.
Over the next couple of weeks we will be out at various locations along the Sculpture Trail to speak to people about the sculptures and find out how people find out about places – especially whether people like the idea of new technologies such as downloadable audio tours and QR codes.
