Hares About Town: Proud to hop on board as sponsors!
This summer, a fun public art event – Hares about Town – is coming to Southend-on-Sea, where our Head Office is located. We’re delighted to be part of it all as corporate sponsors.
After entertaining and bringing people together, the trail of giant Hare sculptures – each one individually designed by an artist – will be auctioned to raise funds for a much-loved local charity, Havens Hospices. We’re proud to support two of the best sculptures (we’re biased, of course). Gateway Group is behind a rather dapper ‘Mr Meadow’, while qualitystreet.co (also part of Gateway) is supporting a dynamic looking and upwardly mobile ‘Jet Hareplane’. Attention-grabbing to say the least.
The free, family-friendly trail of discovery with Wild in Art runs from Saturday 3 July through to September. As well as supporting a great cause, the event will bring lots of positive energy as we leap back (tentatively) from pandemic times.
Look out for the Hare sculptures if you’re local on Southend High Street, The Royals Shopping Centre (Hare Quarters), Rossi ice cream parlours, Havens Hospices shops and elsewhere across the Borough.
