Arley Hall & Gardens

The team at Arley wanted to get kids more involved and excited about their visit to the historic Hall and Gardens.

They approached Cranford Tails to design four new characters that would appeal to younger visitors of different ages and draw attention to the various strengths and aspects of the site.

After researching the Arley Archives and reading up on the history of the garden, four characters were drafted and submitted for approval. Some design changes implemented (Elizabeth Raffald changed from a bee to mouse) - the images were then completed in both colour and line drawing formats.
