Workington’s Vulcan Park has been transformed with a bright and colourful yarn bomb display.
Yarn bombing is a creative way to decorate outdoor spaces and involves attaching knitted displays to trees, benches, and railings.
The displays will be in place until Sunday to mark Mental Health Awareness Week.
Workington Town Council organised the activity and asked local residents to donate knitted squares and textile pieces that have been incorporated into the displays.
Larger displays were set up by Together We CIC, Workington and Derwent Inner Wheel, Workington Community Nurses and ICC, the Knitting Ninjas, Christ Central Church, Age UK, local artist Ursula Troche, and volunteers Jody Ferguson and Judith Ferguson.
Workington mayor Janet King said: “It’s been a tremendously difficult year and many people have struggled to maintain good mental health.
“The Vulcan Park Yarn Bomb has been a great way to open up important conversations about mental health and to showcase some of the amazing support networks we have here in Workington.
“The volunteers have done an incredible job.”
