This event was part of our summer family events programme, which was chosen by children from Holy Cross School in Liverpool.

What was Bluecoat Platform?
Located in our front courtyard, this family-friendly outdoor sculpture was designed by children for children! Our after school arts club Out of the Blue worked with artists Simon & Tom Bloor to come up with this fun, interactive sculpture for the whole family to enjoy.
In Summer 2021, the sculpture became a stage for our entire family events programme!
