A sculpture being created by young people as part of this summer’s Keynsham Music Festival will first be going on display at the Glastonbury Festival.

Creating the special sculpture for the festival

For the last six months, Mike May, chair of Keynsham Music Festival, has led a team of professionals from the Willow Project and WTF Workshops in Bristol to work with teenagers who are not in school, training or work to create a sculpture made of metal.

The structure is seven metres high and will be a feature at the Glastonbury Festival from 25th to 29th June.

It is hoped that the complete work will then be displayed at Keynsham’s festival, which runs from 30th June to 6th July.

The project, called Arcadia, was sponsored by Keynsham Town Council with the purpose of raising the self-esteem of a group of young people who have yet to find the right motivation in their lives.

Andy Wait, a trustee of Keynsham Music Festival, said: “It will be worth coming to the festival just to see the amazing work of these young people.

“The statue is currently being put together for the big reveal at Glastonbury.”
