Go Safari 2012 at 78 Derngate

Following the success of Pride of Northampton in 2010, the town was pleased to present a sequel, Go Safari 2012.

We were delighted to be involved with the Go Safari for Northampton Schools' Programme and four animals decorated by pupils from Kingsthorpe Grove Primary School took up residence in the garden and gallery at 78 Derngate.

From June 30th until September 2nd elephants, rhinos, gorillas, giraffes and lions were located in a variety of venues around the town centre including, shops, museums and the Grosvenor Shopping Centre.

Our Great Britain and Britopotamus.

A Walk on the Wild Side and All Creatures Great and Small.
