Students have been busy preparing for the festive period by designing Christmas nutcrackers.

The Vale of Evesham School has been working alongside Evesham Place Board to create the nutcrackers for the Evesham Christmas Eco-Nutcrackers Town Trail.

The workshop took place at the school on Thursday, October 10, and saw students from the school getting creative in a community-wide project.

The designs will be used to inspire the nutcrackers that will be dotted around the town.

Headteacher of school, Brian Thomas, said: "We are thrilled to see our students’ creativity come to life in such a meaningful way.

"This collaboration not only highlights their artistic talents but also fosters a sense of community pride and togetherness."

Phil Maclean, representing Evesham Place Board and one of the workshop facilitators, added: "This initiative is a wonderful example of how art can bring people together.

"The students’ designs will add a unique and festive touch to our town, and we are excited to see the community come together to celebrate the holiday season, especially supporting our local retail businesses during such an important period."
