ACOUSTIC ARTS OUTDOOR
MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
Acoustic Arts was set up in
1990 to promote outdoor
learning and creative
play through music. The
company designs and
builds outdoor musical
instruments for schools,
museums, family attractions, play parks and sensory
gardens throughout the UK and around the world.
The award-winning installations are sustainably
built using naturally durable timbers and industrial
materials to provide high quality, precisely tuned
percussion instruments that are accessible to all ages
and abilities.
The large-scale drums, chimes and xylophones produce
bright, resonant tones and offer all-round access to
encourage individual play and exploration as well as
group interaction.

WICKSTEED PLAYGROUNDS
BUILDS BESPOKE CASTLE IN
SCOTLAND!
Wicksteed Playgrounds
brought the designs of
local school children
to life by creating an
impressive, imaginative
and, crucially, inclusive
£300k playpark at
Wilton Lodge Park
in Hawick, Scotland.
Reflecting the history of the area, a large bespoke
timber castle-inspired multi-play feature takes pride of
place in the scheme which incorporates a wide range
of diverse play and sensory elements across different
zones.
Notably, the primary school pupils’ brief allowed
Wicksteed to really demonstrate their bespoke design
creativities and capabilities.
