An empty shop in the Sovereign Shopping Centre, Weston is transformed into a unique, 360 immersive soundscape exploring the landscape, plants, people and wildlife of the Mendip Hills and Weston-super-Mare. The audio tracks through layers of time, soil, stone and roots to hear the ancestors of the caves, the dying song of the ash trees, the birds of the plateau. Hear the song of the ghost of Charterhouse, the tales of a Mendip storyteller, and the voices of children from Weston.

Inspired by collaborative workshops with young people and community groups in Weston-super-Mare - held in the town and the Mendip Hills National Landscape - co-authors Gwyneth Herbert, Jason Singh and Chris Howard, with producers’ Sound UK and Super Culture, have created a new work, weaving participants’ responses into the sounds of Mendip wildlife, trees, plants and cave acoustics.

Following the launch of the 'View In' installation and taking place throughout the summer, you can visit the Mendip Hills National Landscape and engage with an augmented reality (audio and animated illustrations) 'View Out' trail on Mendip. This experience will also be happening in Weston's South Ward.
