We Have Our Winners! 🌟👟

To celebrate National Walking Month, we invited children to design their very own item of footwear and what fantastic designs we received!

From colourful trainers and sparkly boots to wonderfully imaginative creations, every entry was full of creativity and personality. Our judges had a very difficult job choosing the winners!

🎉 Congratulations to all of our winners and well done to everyone who took part. 🎉

The winning designs are now on display at Cowbridge Library, so be sure to pop in and see the amazing artwork for yourself.

A big thank you to all of the young artists who entered and helped us celebrate National Walking Month in such a creative way. We loved seeing all of your fantastic ideas!

Keep creating, keep imagining, and keep walking!

And a big thank you and shout out to our competition partners ✏️
