2020 Roadshows After taking the School Roadshow to Derby and Birmingham in March, the impact of Covid-19 meant that roadshows in May and June were cancelled or postponed until future dates can be arranged. Meanwhile we have refocused on making creatures, to clear the considerable backlog of previous orders. Rescue training Dolphins and Seals for BDMLR and other ngos, plus display creatures for Cornwall and overseas....see below
2019-2020 Making Creatures Lots of orders for Rescue Training Dolphins and Seal pups for UK and overseas ngos, and for display Grey Seals for project in Cornwall, plus enquiries for marine wildlife models large and small. Also a steady stream of vintage creatures coming in for renovation, proving that it pays to buy quality hand-made items that can be renovated when necessary.
2019 Roadshows.......bookings for The Eden Project, South Devon College for their Green Week, Cornwall Wildlife Trust for their Wilder Fair, Bucks Berks & Oxon Wildlife Trust for Oxford Wild Fair, Glastonbury Festival, a new Festival in Aldeburgh celebrating the sea and our connection with it, a return to the Farmwise Schools event in Exeter, and a return to Derry in Northern Ireland to recreate the Monsters of the Deep Halloween event.

Plus lots of enquiries coming in
2018 Roadshows........October was busy, with the BDMLR Conference , Farmwise Schools Event, and the amazing Underwater World we created for The Loughs Agency in Northern Ireland..see the relevant photoalbums.
