PHOTO GALLERY: Gaia was out of this world!
31 May 2024
Crowds flocked to see Gaia in Birkenhead Park over the past three days, one of the highlights of this year's Borough of Culture. As well as the seven meter sculpture of planet Earth, there were people-powered rockets, torchlit concerts, outdoor yoga sessions, dance performances and much more. Here are some of our favourite photos.
