Cottingley Summer Fair 2015

Saturday (15 August 2015) saw a summer celebration as people in Cottingley held their summer fair at the community centre.

As well as a great bake off competition and other stalls, Groundwork were busy helping create a new mural for the estate. The mural is being painted on boards that will be treated and mounted on walls at the Sphinx Square shops.

Nickie Ramsden from Groundwork said:

“We’ve been working with Mears on the estate and done lots of planting with residents. We wanted to engage with teenagers and the mural has caught their imagination. We are encouraging everyone to add their handprint to represent the strong community that is Cottingley.”
