Join us for an hour-long show performed by Epiphany ‘in the round’ beneath a cloud mobile of over 60 butterflies with musicians moving amongst the audience throughout. Much of the music will be improvised but the performance will include excerpts from Requiem for the Earth by Linda Entwistle.
Performances are at 4:30 and 7:30 on Sunday 29th September with admission by donation. There will be refreshments after the 4:30 performance and before the 7:30 performance (from 7:00pm). All proceeds will go to Poynton Methodist Church’s Eco Church charities Cheshire Wildlife Trust , OceanCleanUp and Christian Aid.
Participants are invited to bring their own cushions/yoga mats to lie on the floor if they wish to do so. Plenty of seating will also be provided.
This is a partnership between Epiphany and Poynton Methodist Church to mark the season of Creationtide when we celebrate the world in which we live, and offer our concerns about how we are treating it.
Epiphany held a similar event at Chester Cathedral last year which can now be viewed on their YouTube channel.

About Butterfly Cloud
Butterfly Cloud is a 3m diameter mobile designed and built by Richard Baker and first installed at Bramhall Methodist Church’s Touch the Earth Lightly Eco-Festival in 2021 (see picture). It takes its inspiration from the butterfly’s emergence from an apparently dead chrysalis as a symbol of hope for our world.
