About

A section of Oystermouth Castle has once again be cloaked in a cascade of red this November as a special community-led tribute returns for the Remembrance season.

Thousands of handmade poppies have been assembled by the Swansea Yarn Bombers, who have spent countless hours crocheting poppies and sewing them individually onto netting in preparation for the display. The project has also been supported by contributions from Swansea residents and donations from around the world,  highlighting the widespread support for the tribute.

The striking display has been installed by the Friends of Oystermouth Castle and can be viewed from the Castle grounds from 4 November until 11 November. While Oystermouth Castle is now closed for the winter season, the poppy cascade remains visible from outside the Castle walls for members of the public wishing to pay their respects.

The moving commemoration pays tribute to the many thousands of local people who have served in the armed forces over the years, to veterans and to those who gave their lives in service of their country.
