Event description

Let your imagination take flight and help us to design a mural for the Mowbray Park Community Garden cabin!

Draw or paint your favourite garden bird in the frame provided and tell us why it is your favourite. You could choose birds you love to watch in Mowbray Park like pigeons, herring gulls and moorhens or garden birds like blackbirds, blue-tits and robins!

A selection of winning entries in each age category will be chosen by a panel of guest judges and then used as inspiration for a beautiful mural display created by Sunderland artist Mike Clay.

Competition age categories are: 4 – 7s, 8 – 11s, 12 – 16s and 17+.

You can submit your entry at the Museum & Winter Gardens reception desk or via our online form
