Peterborough City Council is seeking expression of interests/pre-market engagement from experienced arts organisation's, Community Interest Company, artist collective or creative practice to design, manufacture and install a series of high-quality playful public realm structures within St John's Square, Peterborough.
This forms part of the Council's Pride in Place Impact Fund programme and supports the wider Cathedral and St John's Square Vision Plan.
The programme seeks to improve the quality, appearance and usability of key civic spaces, create a greener and more inclusive city centre, increase activity and dwell time, and support the wider regeneration of Peterborough's civic heart.
The aim of this project is to design and deliver between four and six permanent playful public realm structures within St John's Square.
The structures should encourage exploration, social interaction, informal play and moments of pause, while also functioning as high-quality pieces of public art, civic furniture and distinctive place-making features.
The installations should invite people to sit, recline, climb, balance, gather, play informally, pause and spend longer within the square.
They should appeal to a broad range of ages and abilities without creating a segregated or traditional children's play area.
