A Day at the Beach
Friday finally came around, after gathering all beach essentials, Deck Chair, Parasol, Paddling pool and lots of sand we arrived at our site.
The site was just off Back Piccadilly, and located itself just opposite a row of bus stops.
We started laying down mats to cover in sand, to avoid tainting the site and allowing for easy removal. The deck chair was out and the beach was taking shape! There were many passers by who stopped to watch, looking very confused, especially as we were wearing sun visors, sunglasses and hula skirts!
Once the beach was set up we took to the streets promoting our beach and handing out flyers, this proved very successful as people who we had handed flyers to visited the beach hours later, which was quite encouraging for us!
So the day went on, and we had many visitors varying from business-men, builders, families etc. But despite this number, the majority of people that came, came to enquire what we were doing or just to look, there were few who actually stopped to sit.
The day came to an end and was successful. The beach created a destination to an ordinarily thoroughfare space, a space that exists simply as a platform for travel from Lever Street to Oldham Street, whilst putting a smile on everybody's face!
Wish you were here!
Beautiful work Cassy just beautiful x
