Local residents are being encouraged to pick up a pebble from a local Co-op store or Funeralcare home,* and paint and decorate it in time for 'Our Crewe; Let's Celebrate,' this August bank holiday.
'Our Crewe; Let's Celebrate is an event taking place at Lyceum Square on the bank holiday afternoon of Monday 28 August.
The event, supported by the Co-op, will showcase all aspects of Crewe life, including: its heritage, the present and the bright future of years to come.
It aims to be a prelude to a full street carnival in Crewe again, targeted to recommence in 2024.
