Kenilworth Advent Calendar – how it started and how it works.
Good luck
Kenilworth Advent Calendar
Maddie is the student from Kenilworth School and Sixth Form who created the art work which is going to help sell many many Kenilworth Advent Calendars come November.
She explained the thoughts that lay behind her design, which, as Julie said in her vote of thanks, had spoken clearly to the judging panel. All the artists who took part, submitted skillful and effective works but Maddie’s painting of the High Street was a unanimous choice.
We send our very best wishes to Maddie and hope that she will use our endorsement of her abilities as a stepping stone to a successful future, whatever that might be.

What a project this is!
Here are just some of the team working on the Kenilworth Advent Calendar project.
There are so many aspects to this – the art work, the sponsors, the donors for prizes, the publicity, the design and writing of the website, the design and manufacture of the calendar itself, the selling, the distribution of the prizes …….and it ll happens just before Christmas of course !
This is the first year Kenilworth Soroptimists have taken this on – it will be easier next year won’t it?
None of this could happen without the generous support of our sponsors . Thank you!
Selling the calendars
You’ll find us in Talisman Square, outside Robert Dyas and outside Sainsbury’s at different times. We’ll be up at Tesco Leyes Lane, at the Bridge Club, at the Lion’s Store and basically anywhere who will have us. We have a mission to sell all our Calendars! The mayor, our good friend Alison Insley, will be heading up the official launch in Talisman Square on Saturday November 7th at 11.00. Watch out for Sir Jeremy Wright, it would be great if he was able to come along too. We will be out in force at the market on Thursday 12th November. There will be room in your shopping bag for the new, more compact, KAC, along with your veggies and cheese. Most importantly we have the valuable support of businesses in town where you can go to buy a calendar at anytime during the month. Many thanks to Kenilworth Books, the Treehouse Bookshop, The Kenilworth Centre, Fossato Lounge, and the Myton Hospice Shop.
