Create
We've teamed up with Madelaine from Hanman Murphy Studios to offer Bluebird supporters the opportunity to create part of the fabric of Bluebird.
500 of the exterior wall tiles at Bluebird have been reserved and debossed ready for you to add your unique ceramic design. The tiles will be displayed prominently at Bluebird for years to come, reminding residents of the support from our community.
Group sessions are perfect for your next Away Day or Team Building Session. A six person all-day session, including surf & turf lunch with Prosecco is £950, and up to six people can participate in each session. 50% of all proceeds donated to the appeal.
