Education students get on their bikes in search of Tour de France inspiration

Posted on 16 June 2013

Our first year students to contribute creative ideas for art and floral displays to line the Tour de France route through Yorkshire next year

Our first year Education students, Stian Jamessen and Verity Washington are involved in a part of a five member team of volunteers working with Harrogate Borough Council’s Parks and Open Spaces team to develop ideas for displays to be set within the parks and open spaces lining the first stage of the Grand Depart route through Harrogate District.

Verity Washington said:

“It’s such a privilege to have the opportunity to get involved with an event of this magnitude. We are currently working on a theme for our designs and we are keen to involve the community in decisions about what form our displays might take. Our ideas include recycled bikes, or perhaps a community knitting event to produce colourful jerseys to line the route.”
