October half term saw 20 Bath retailers showcasing their sustainable products as part of the Fashion & Fairytale Sustainable Trail. Some went big, some went small, but all united to celebrate our mission and inspire a new generation of sustainable designers in B&NES.

Trail walkers collected their maps from My Small World Toys in Southgate and following a fabulous Visit Bath map, kindly printed by Minuteman Press, were delighted by nature inspired, or fairytale window displays that ranged from Beauty & The Beast, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland to Halloween witches, spiders and recycled plastic wonders.

Ending their voyage of discovery by returning their trail map to My Small World Toys, trail walkers could exchange it for a design entry sheet to create their own sustainable, nature inspired outfit.
