'Climber' scales Southwark Cathedral to promote flower festival
A life-size moss man was installed on the walls of the south transept of Southwark Cathedral on Monday.
The Climber has been created by artist Chris Jones as Southwark Cathedral prepares to host the Leprosy Mission Festival of Flowers which will run from 23 to 26 August.
The artistic director for the festival is Mig Kimpton, international floral designer and multi-award winner including two gold medals at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Tickets for the festival are on sale now.
