Weston-super-Mare, known for its picturesque coastline and vibrant atmosphere, now boasts another compelling reason to visit: the Knife Angel North Somerset. Standing tall at 27 feet in the Italian Gardens, this monumental sculpture is constructed from over 100,000 blades confiscated by police forces across the UK.
The Knife Angel serves as a powerful symbol against violence and aggression, emphasizing the devastating impact of knife crime on communities nationwide. Its installation in the Italian Gardens offers residents and visitors alike an opportunity to reflect on the consequences of such actions and unite in the collective effort to combat them.
