Paint The Town - 19th February 2025

On a slightly damp Wednesday during February Half Term, we ventured into the Town and joined the Deputy Mayor on our stilts for the ceremony. Many children from Tavistock and the surrounding areas have been working hard to create beautiful art installations for the shop windows. This fabulous Tavistock BID event was incredibly well attended and it was so lovely to see so many of the independent shop windows with their lovingly made decorations. With bunches of daffodils, we posed for the camera before continuing with our day.

Our Flower Fairy & Butterfly Fairy stiltwalkers spent the rest of their days adventuring all around the town handing out tokens to the children which were redeemed for Hot Chocolates at local business, Mime Cafe. Our Bubble Fairy made three magical appearances in the town square and it was so lovely to watch the bubbles floating off across the Square. In Butchers Hall we held a ground based circus workshop attended by over 200 young people and their families. Our stalls sold delicious sweet treats and circus equipment alongside games. On the craft table, children were able to make their own magical potion necklaces and fairy wands. We raised £124.11 for the CIC and had such a wonderful day with our local community. More media will be posted soon as we receive it from the lovely Tavistock BID photographer of the day, Dave. ​
