It’s big – it’s bold and it’s a lasting legacy of the Darwin Bicentennial year.

Challenging in its design and an engineering conundrum, Pearce & Lal have produced an eye-catching sculpture. Quantum Leap is set on the banks of the River Severn, in a geo-garden, that tells the story of Shropshire’s epic journey using rock from the ten geological periods represented in the county’s landscape. Join members of the design team for an insight into this ambitious project.

The Shift-Time Blogging Project

Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services, including weblogs, photo and video sharing sites. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.
