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.

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.
