“Nowhere Fundraisers” for Cancer Research UK are turning NailSEA town into a Sea of Pink from 15 – 30 March. The whole community is joining in the fun with knitters busily clicking their needles to make covers for the street bollards. Sewing machines are whirring away, turning out metres and metres and metres of pink bunting to decorate the High Street and Crown Glass Shopping Centre. Shops and businesses are decorating their windows in a POP of PINK, not only the town centre shops but also those on the periphery. Fresh from the Industrial Modern Furniture workshop, our limited edition 'Hot Pink' Garden Stakes will be on sale online and at Nailsea Farmers Market this Saturday 9am - 1pm. Please come along and see our stall!
