A New Mosaic at St Aidan’s: Celebrating Nature, Family, and Creativity

A New Mosaic at St Aidan’s: Celebrating Nature, Family, and Creativity

A New Mosaic at St Aidan’s: Celebrating Nature, Family, and Creativity

July 29, 2025 2025, Events

We’re excited to share the latest addition to our Little Hiccups Mosaic Trail—a beautiful new mosaic artwork now installed at RSPB St Aidan’s Nature Park!

Once an open cast coal mine, St Aidan’s has been transformed into a vibrant nature reserve, alive with wildlife and full of stunning views. It’s a peaceful, accessible space just outside Leeds, perfect for walking, birdwatching, cycling—or simply enjoying the fresh air.

🎨 About the Mosaic Project

This mosaic was designed by Tilly, a young artist and regular visitor to St Aidan’s, and brought to life by mosaic artist Mary Goodwin (marygoodwinmosaics.co.uk). It’s part of our ongoing collaboration with Little Hiccups families to create artworks that reflect personal stories and celebrate inclusive spaces across Leeds.

Each mosaic in the trail is a joint effort—families choose a location that’s meaningful to them, and with the support of Mary, they design a piece that captures both their experience and the spirit of the place.

Tilly shared:

“I’ve been coming to St Aidan’s for years, and it’s one of my favourite places. I was a bit shy about sharing my drawing, but seeing it turned into a mosaic and displayed here is really special.”

A Big Thank You to Jo

We’d also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to Jo at RSPB St Aidan’s, who has been incredibly welcoming and supportive of our mosaic project. Her enthusiasm and openness made it easy for us to bring this artwork to life in such a special location. It’s wonderful to collaborate with people who share our passion for accessibility, creativity, and community.

🧺 A Day to Remember

To celebrate the installation, we hosted a picnic at St Aidan’s where several families joined us for food, fun, and a walk around the reserve. It was a lovely day filled with connection, laughter, and pride in what we’ve created together.
