Synthetic Sea
This Saturday, 2nd November at 12pm, Bridgewater Shopping Centre will see the unveiling of Synthetic Sea — a powerful new art installation created by artists from the 402 Art Collective. Using plastic waste gathered from local beaches and contributions from our community, this artwork brings attention to the urgent issue of marine plastic pollution.
Inspired by the fragile beauty of lost oyster beds, kelp forests, and endangered marine life along Arklow's coastline, Synthetic Sea invites you to explore the impact of plastic on our oceans and to reflect on our own plastic habits.
Date: Saturday, 2nd November
Location: Bridgewater Shopping Centre
Time: 12:00pm
Come and experience the beauty and fragility of our underwater world and be inspired to protect it!
Part of "Rediscovering the Underwater World along Arklow's Coastline," this project was supported by Creative Ireland and Wicklow County Council.

Sensory Morning Launch
Bridgewater is delighted to launch sensory mornings at the centre from Saturday 21st of September in collaboration with the Little Warriors group.
The Little Warriors, a local charity group based around supporting neurodiversity and social inclusion in the community, will be at the centre with information for customers to kick-start the sensory mornings on Saturday 21st. Free face painting and balloon animals from 12 noon - 2pm!
From Saturday 21st onwards, all music will be turned off from 9am – 11am every morning. During these hours, we invite customers to join a more inclusive shopping experience with reduced noise.
Not all needs are visible, so stores being aware of this can help make shopping more enjoyable. You never know how small changes can make a big difference.
Please note, during these times some store announcements may still need to be made.
