Bath Spa University is set to take part in a unique event in celebration of the Bristol tides, being held on Sunday 22nd March, which is World Water Day.

The tides in Bristol are the highest in Europe and the second highest in the world.

These tides have shaped the city’s history and geography and now pose a significant challenge in the future in relation to climate change.

Due to long term cosmic cycles the tides on 22nd March will be the highest high tides in some 20 years.

Tides Made Flesh is a unique piece of street theatre which has been devised with Desperate Men Theatre group for the launch of Bristol Loves Tides, an educational programme that uses performance and film to explore water flows, tides and systems around Bristol.

The aim of Bristol Loves Tides is to help young people to understand Bristol as a city built on rivers and tides.

The event is part of Bristol Green Capital run by My Future My Choice and the Arts and Humanities Research Council funded Hydrocitizenship project headed up by Professor Owain Jones at Bath Spa University.

These projects are focused upon raising awareness of water issues in the UK and globally.

Professor Jones said: “We are delighted to be able to stage these events on World Water Day. The Hydrocitizenship project, which has eight partner universities across the UK shares many of the same objectives as World Water Day.

“The project aims to investigate the ways in which communities live together with each other and their environment in relation to water.

“Tides Made Flesh is a fantastic way for people in Bath and Bristol to learn more about how water has shaped their local area.”

The public are invited to witness the tides, who will arrive as ‘tides made flesh’ at Cumberland Basin at 8:15am on Sunday 22nd March.

The local community will get a chance to experience the highest tides Bristol has ever seen – the tides are predicted to be 11.7 metres high, which is 0.3 metres higher than the harbour wall.
