A Mischief of Rat comes to the Alf Marshall Centre!

Please welcome our newest edition “A Songbirds Paradise” as part of the incredible Mischief of Rats Trail running in Hull & East Yorkshire 3rd May- 31st August.

When Neighbourhood Network were approached to host a sculpture in this trail we were so excited but really wanted it to link in with our beautiful songbird survival garden coming soon to the centre and we feel this really does compliment what we are trying to achieve massively and is a huge very welcome addition to our team…

What is the Mischief of Rats all about ?

A Mischief of Rats is based on the hugely popular Puffins Galore, A Moth for Amy and Larkin with Toads, mass public art projects which still have a legacy many years on! A Mischief of Rats is brought to you by the same team that brought these three highly successful, award winning events to Hull and East Riding.

Standing almost 6ft tall, each Rat will be a unique artwork that brings vibrancy, colour and joy to its surroundings. Rat locations will be carefully selected to attract visitors to less well known places as well as encouraging them to spend time tracking down Rats in towns and villages, resorts and attractions across the region. Wherever they appear these beautiful sculptures will attract curious glances and happy smiles from visitors and residents alike.
