Spring Update from the Art Strand – Colour, Creativity & Community!

Hello friends!

We had a wonderful sunny day recently as the Art Strand team worked on our bottle top mural, just in time for Easter. We’ve collected hundreds of tops already, but we’re still short on a few colours. If you have any pink, yellow, purple, or blue bottle tops at home, we’d love for you to drop them off at Upton Central Coffee Shop for Mark.

Even with the ever-changing weather – frosty mornings, sunny afternoons, and chilly evenings – our garden is still bursting with colour!

You may have noticed our Easter postbox toppers around town – they’ve been putting smiles on faces, and your kind comments have really lifted our spirits. Thank you!

🌸 Looking Ahead: Events in May & June

May is full of excitement with the upcoming VE/VJ Day celebrations from 8–10 May. And mark your calendars for the Town Council’s Community Party in the Park on Friday, 14 June. We’re thrilled to be part of it again this year, offering free craft activities for all ages. Come say hello and get creative with us!

🎉 Scarecrow Festival – Disney Magic in July!

From 1st to 18th July, the annual Scarecrow Festival will be celebrating Walt Disney’s 70th Anniversary!

Need ideas for your scarecrow? Visit our Facebook Page or check out the fun displays we’ll have around town closer to the date.

We’re excited to continue bringing art, joy, and community events to Upton and Lytchett Minster. Let’s make this summer one to remember!
