Halewood Country Show 2012

We had a great day at yesterday's Halewood Country Show. There was a last minute change of venue due to the Meadow being knee deep in water! We had to hot foot it around to The Arncliffe Park area, which was dry and had a car park.

The sun came out and we were hot hot hot in our marquee.

There was lots to see and do, with the children being really well cared for. Archery, Climbing Wall, Circus Skills, and Lots and lots of creepy crawly animals and snakes to look at and hold!

Our recycling family art workshop went down a storm, and we were last to pack up!

All the flowers and windmills were different with the children adding their own finishing touches.

There was also a really interesting stall showcasing corn dolly making, wish we had time to try making some for ourselves!

The Dog Show was a big crowd pleaser and the Falcons were dramatic. Halewood Community Choir added a musical element to the proceedings.

Thanks to Emma, Karen, and Carole for staffing the Halewood Arts Association stall, and The Rangers for inviting us.

Halewood Country Fair

Halewood Arts Association had a great day out running workshops with the local community.

Very excitingly we shared a marquee with Reefs Reptiles. I had a chance to stroke a very long snake, we also saw chameleons and a skunk!


The day was hot and people were arriving having heard the sound of music, the commentary about the Rescue Dogs, and the noise and cheer from The Falcon Show.

We produced loads of marrottes and bogarts using natural materials. We got to experiment with cloves, dock seeds, rose petals, sunflowers seeds and other items we had foraged.

All age ranges got involved and there was a real variety of work created. Some models were very realistic, and others took the mischevious theme to heart and created bizarre, funny and scary creatures.

It was lovely to see so many people walk around the show carrying their creations. It was a wonderful day!


The final outcomes were very aromatic and visually stunning. What do you think of some of the work produced?
