Getting ready for the Warwick Jumpers & Jazz Festival in July this year has become an unexpected opportunity for the Hede Byrne & Hall family to get together and create a tree jumper and decorations and their first-time entry into the festival.
Great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, children, aunts and uncles alike have
all delighted in taking part in contributing in both small and large quantities towards the various knitted, crocheted and crafted pieces that will cover the lucky tree in Palmerin Street, Warwick. Age is no barrier with the youngest contributor starting at 4 years of age, and the eldest an octogenarian.
The teamwork and collaboration has brought everybody together outside of the seriousness of the legal work and introduced an element of fun and laughter over various (failed) attempts while we learn useful skills.
Although we have only recently opened an office in Warwick, Hede Byrne & Hall have been a part of this community for a long time and most employees have enjoyed the Jumpers & Jazz in July Festival in the past.
Despite our inexperience and amateur skills, we all hope that visitors and the community of Warwick will enjoy our modest contribution as much as we have enjoyed creating it.
The Jumpers & Jazz Festival in July is a fantastic winter festival in Warwick that commences on Thursday, 19 July and continues until Sunday, 29 July. The 2018 program has now been released and can be accessed here: www.jumpersandjazz.com/program and more information can be obtained from the Warwick Art Gallery and the Warwick Visitor Information Centre.
