This year a church in North Yorkshire created an interactive nativity performance with the help of more than 14 set-painting volunteers and over 100 lites of ReColour paint!
King’s Church Selby created an interactive nativity extravaganza, with hundreds of children from Selby, North Yorkshire, and the surrounding area coming to ‘walk through’ the nativity story in an unforgettable experience.
This year, they had over 400 primary school children and teachers visit the event over 2 weeks with 36 performances! The children went on an adventure, time travelling in Professor Pendulum’s Time Machine. They went back 2000 years to find out about the first Christmas! Each walk-through scene had the children meet the characters and interact with them and collect evidence to discover more about the first Christmas.
To create this interactive and immersive experience they used lighting, sound and paint…and lots of it. The church ordered over 100 litres of paint in over 12 different colours to create the various scenes, both modern and traditional. The ReColour paint came from Community RePaint Wirral.
Sonia, the project co-ordinator said “the paint you supplied was brilliant! We were delighted with the quality of the paint and also the wonderful service we received from Beckie at Recipro.”
Congratulations to the 14 people who painted the scenery (and many more than detailing and dressing the sets) as well as the 20 people a day who volunteered to make the Experience wonderful and memorable for the local children. It was a project that involved the whole community.
ReColour paint, brightened a huge number of lives this Christmas. For paint that was once deemed waste, with think it’s proved to be a fantastic reuse project.
