Brightly coloured Manchester Bee causes buzz in Altrincham

The sculpture of a brightly coloured bee has taken up permanent residence in Altrincham outside Myerson Solicitors on Barrington Road.

The award winning solicitors of 35 years, bought the bee for £19,000 with the We Love MCR charity receiving the proceeds. Alongside over 100 like it, this giant bee was part of a trail through Manchester designed to celebrate the city and raise money.

The ‘Bee in the City’ learning programme raised £1.1 million for the charity with its auction of the super-size sculptures. The charity was initiated by The Lord Mayor of Manchester to improve the lives of its citizens.

Carl Newton, Myerson’s managing partner, said:

“Supporting our local community in South Manchester has always been a priority for us as a firm. We are delighted to be bringing one of the bees to Altrincham and hope it will continue to attract visitors and create a buzz around our local area.”


The sculpture, titled ‘Bee-bop-a-raver’ was designed by acclaimed local artist Caroline Daly. Inspired by Manchester’s 80’s to 90’s rave scene, Daly decorated her bee in the neon colours of the era.

The rainbow raver-bee sculpture matches Myerson’s multi-coloured Logo Design perfectly and does not look out of place in the gardens of Grosvenor House where it is now situated.
