Ghost Boats to come to Bristol woods

Bristol artist Luke Jerram, who was responsible for the incredibly popular "Park and Slide" in Park Street and the street pianos project has come up with a new concept.

The exhibition - if that's what you call it - will open at Leigh Woods to the north of the city in April 2015. Luke plans to create a flotilla of abandoned fishing boats in the depths of the trees.

The fact that they are so far from the sea is aimed at raising discussion about climate change and issues surrounding the fishing industry.

They will all point in the same direction as if they were moving with the tide and the navigation lights will come on at night giving an impression of ghostlike activity in the woods.

Luke is always the champion of the interactive so people will be able to explore the boats when they visit.
