To celebrate the launch of
the calendar we have organised an outdoor photography exhibition throughout the
town centre, which will be available to view for 6 weeks from 12th October. We have 17 shops who have very kindly agreed to have a framed and
mounted photograph from the calendar in their shop window, creating a trail
through the High Street.
We hope the calendar will
raise much needed funds for the Mayor’s charities (Bushy Leaze and The Kings Arms) as well as the exhibition
providing an opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy a free, outdoor,
socially distanced, walking trail.
We have two calendars to choose from, printed by Treloar Print:
Desktop calendar priced at £5.00
Wall calendar priced at £9.00
You can purchase the calendars from the following shops:
Perfect Moments
Qwirky Women
St Michaels Hospice

M E Howitt Leather Shop
