Side-by-Side Festival: Spaces for Nature

Touchstones is redesigning the gardens outside the building and they want your ideas! Visitors are invited to use their creativity and LEGO® bricks to imagine a greener, wilder future for everyone, right in the heart of Rochdale. It’s a fun and thoughtful day all about helping nature! Lots of animals and plants are in danger, but together we can make a difference. Participants can take part in hands-on activities, learn about wildlife, and explore big ideas like rewilding – making more space for nature to grow wild and free – whilst learning about Touchstones’ exciting new growing space.

This activity by Touchstones Rochdale has been made possible through the partnership between the Natural History Museum and the LEGO Group as part of their Build the Change programme, funded by the LEGO Foundation.
