'the great garage hunters tea party' (take 2)


We had our second engagement today and it turned out to be much more successful than the first! Being in a prominent public place made a big difference, and our installation/stalls attracted lots of children, families and older people. Members of the public seemed suprised at the offer of a free cup of tea - especially the children who expected that they would have to pay to decorate a biscuit.

We only asked for ideas and suggestions for alternative uses for garages, in exchange for the refreshments - and we had a positive response. Several people suggested activities for children, playgroups and youth clubs, while others suggested storage, workshops and studio flats.

The kids were keen to test their memory with the memory card game and decorate biscuits.

The sun shone as the two hours flew, and even though there hadnt been much wind we were releaved that we had opted for tables instead of the poles!
