Starting 5 July until 9 September, our art trail will be taking over the city in the most colourful way.
Farleigh Hospice is proud to be working with Chelmsford For You – the city’s Business Improvement District – with support from Chelmsford City Council, to bring you ‘Buzz in the City’ this summer!
For 10 weeks, a swarm of giant and mini bee sculptures will be installed through streets, parks and places of interest, encouraging locals and visitors to get out, bee active and enjoy spending time in our buzzing city!
The art trail is completely free for everyone to enjoy. You can follow the trail using a printed map or our mobile app to discover more about each bee, its artist and its sponsors.
After the trail closes these spectacular artworks will be auctioned off to raise much-needed funds for Farleigh Hospice.
Farleigh Hospice
Bees have a strong sense of community and teamwork, tirelessly working together for the greater good.
Their incredible work ethic, dedication and persistence are qualities that our hospice staff and volunteers also embody as they strive to provide compassionate care and support to patients and their families.
We also admire bees for their industrious nature, environmental importance and educational value.
Join us in Chelmsford High Street on Saturday 5 July as we kick off the Buzz in the City trail with Farleigh’s annual street collection and a day full of entertainment:
