As part of a year-long project with Woughton Community Council and MOTUS Dance, Coffee Hall saw the Barrista Park jumping, popping, scratching, and painting in the sun on Saturday.
As part of the regeneration of the park, people from across the estate and beyond, enjoyed dance workshops, community painting, refreshed play equipment and a new nature trail running alongside the park. The highlight was the formal unveiling of four large walls, which include nods to Woughton parish, the history of Coffee Hall and the importance of movement.
During the event, dancer and artist Josh Hoffman created a new piece or art, dancing whilst painting and working with younger residents to create something truly unique. With DJ’s Kraze One, Moschops and Justice providing the soundtrack, appearances from the Mayor and Mayoress of MK and final touches to the walls also happening, it was a packed and fun filled day.
Local artists also painted the opposite side of the walls and have agreed to maintain these, meaning the space will be looking ‘on point’ for the future.
Steve McNay, Council Manager with Woughton Community Council said:
‘This has been a brilliant project and today has been an excellent example of what can happen when communities come together. It’s been great fun in the sun. A huge thank you to everyone who made it such a special day’.
