Tall Ship Festival, Gloucester Quays 24-27 May 2013

We had a great time at the Tall Ship Festival in Gloucester Quays over the May bank holiday weekend, despite gusts of winds of 30mph on Friday, which flew dust all over our glassware on Friday afternoon!  The weather was sunny on Sat & Sun and we met lots of new customers who visited the Purple Holly stall.  They loved our quirky rocking glasses, wine shoes, dinosaur money boxes and vintage camper van mugs! We hope everyone enjoyed their shopping experience and get a chance to visit our fabulous website www.purpleholly.co.uk

In the meantime, here are some memories and photos from the Tall Ship Festival for you to savour.
