WINNERS of a competition ran by Workington Town Council to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee will make their designs come to life by re-creating them on the side of a building in Vulcan Park.
Workington Town Council came up with the ‘Love my Hut’ competition in January 2022 and contacted the local schools. The competition asked children to create a design for a small building located within Vulcan Park in Workington.
120 entries were received in total and the five winning designs were chosen by The Mayor and Mayoress of Workington.
Workington Town Council then worked with artist, Beth Gray, to create templates of the children’s designs so they could easily be outlined and re-created on the walls of the hut. Beth also combined the designs to ensure they could fit on 4 walls.
School children will work with Beth and Workington Town Council staff in Vulcan Park during w/c 16th May to complete the work on the hut in plenty of time for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Tea Party, which will be held in Vulcan Park from 11am-4pm on Saturday,June 4.
