Eccles is set to embrace an exciting artistic experience as Salford City Council unveils plans for Mystery Bird - a unique moving art installation.
From 23 - 27 January, the event will weave through 50 residential streets in the historic market town, taking in Peel Green, Barton, Winton and Patricroft before visiting the town centre.
Residents along the route will be visited by an illuminated bird cage with a magical soundscape, and experience a magical projection of the birds escaping across homes and buildings. The installation celebrates birds as a symbol of hope and freedom and is made to be seen by an audience of all ages, abilities and accessibility.

Running for five consecutive nights, Mystery Bird will visit a different area of Eccles each evening from 5pm to 7.30pm, starting with Peel Green, then Winton, Patricroft and Barton.
Visitors to Eccles Town Centre will also be treated to a magical pop-up Mystery Bird moment, as the birdcage will spend 30 minutes positioned outside St Mary’s Church, the oldest part of the town, which grew around the church in the 13th Century. The birds will create a stunning visual for people as they sweep around onto the church and surrounding buildings, creating a beacon of light at the heart of the town.
