The National Festival of Making bring their second public realm installation to Blackburn this year following the postponement of the 2021 festival. The festival team continues to bring cultural experiences to the North West, connecting people with each other and the themes of making, skills and wellbeing.

Now, for four days only, they’re coming to Blackburn, Lancashire.
