2014 ~ Lanterns & Heronsilver at the Blackberry Fair

Ellesmere Community Arts

Heronsilver was created by Fizzgigs and funded by Meres and Mosses Landscape Partnership Trust to be part of Merefest on 20th September 2014.  This was a great success and the Meres and Mosses provided additional funding for the show to be re-worked as an evening feature at the Blackberry Fair on the 4th of October in Whitchurch.

We would also like to say thank you to Philip Walker for providing the images.

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped to make this happen.
