After successful displays of Museum Of The Moon and Gaia aka Earth, (See previous videos on this website), Artist Luke Jerram brings Mars War & Peace to the Leicester Cathedral . The #MarsArtwork, Like his previous pieces uses high resolution images of the planets surface mapped in scale onto a inflated sphere giving the viewer a sense of the grandeur and scale of the real planet and a chance in this sacred space to contemplate our place in the universe. Leicester Cathedral has always lead the way in hosting artworks within it's impressive space, a beautiful space, recently refurbished and extended, that with it`s tall stone columns, roof held up by golden angels and own grandeur complements the other worldly artwork hanging inside. Mars War & Peace is at the Leicester Cathedral from 16th May - 8th June 2025.
The Cosby Yarnbomb returns after a one year break bigger and better than ever before, in 2026 were going on a trip around the world in 80 displays !.
Like Willy Fogg we`ll be exactly right on time as our Journey takes us under the sea and across African plains for a walk on the wild side, yes that is a life sized giraffe in Cosby !.
We also go interstellar as we fly through the solar system on a planet parade (can you spot any Aliens ?).
a Chinese dragon,the terra-crochet army, Tulips from Amsterdam and a windmill, add to our globetrottingy trip.
This film does not include all 80 displays (that would be a very long film) so a visit to the Yarnbomb itself is highly recommended
Cosby Yarnbomb and Community Togetherness Day 2026 have been supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England,Who along with Sponsors fund the costs of putting on the event, including performances, workshops and activities.
