Today we thank the behind the scenes and some in front. Yes we will get round to posting the children's photos and thankyou but they are still coming in!
🌟💚 People Who Made the Magic Happen – A Full Festival Thank-You! 💚🌟
A festival isn’t just an event — it’s a community heartbeat.
And this year’s Mistletoe Festival was powered by the hands, hearts, wisdom, taste buds and wonder of some truly remarkable souls.
Here is the full tapestry of gratitude…
💚🌿 The Behind-the-Scenes Brilliance 🌿💚
💚 Rosie, Peter, Chris (White Lion) — the dream team who created, lifted, sorted, laughed, made the mistletoe bunches, and kept pace with every task from dawn to dusk.
💚 Krystena — seven hours collecting mistletoe for the bunches. A heroic contribution. There is the remainder of bunch hanging to do, one of today's tasks!!!
💚 Angela — for deep conversation, bunch-making, and bringing a scientist’s mind to meet a wholistic one. Magical!
💚 Val & Lizzie — who elevated the Preloved setup with smooth precision and absolute grace.
💚 Tracy & Harriet — completing the Preloved team and ensuring everything ran warmly and beautifully.
💚 Helen — once again managing the S.E.N.S.E shop with her annual brilliance. Dependable, calm, essential.
💚 Chris — The White Lion 🦁🎶
Not “from” The White Lion — he IS The White Lion, keeping the music flowing all day from S.E.N.S.E and even creating a personalised Christmas jingle. Magic!
💚Jake always attending the Mistletoe harvesting and helping and sharing his knowledge.
💚Samantha and Carolyne and Shannon- Your time creating bunches was most welcomed.
The Festival-Day Legends 💚✨
💚 Rosie — our official (and now fully qualified!) Runner of Teme Street 🏃🏼♀️💨 She must’ve covered more miles than the drummers with the amount of fetching, carrying, checking and dashing she did. She now knows every doorway, corner, shortcut and hiding place between S.E.N.S.E and the Round Market. Tenbury’s very own lightning bolt — thank you, Rosie! ⚡️💚
💚 Loki 🤦🏽♀️🥴😂
True to his name — chaos, mischief, hilarity and a man with a good heart … and we wouldn’t change a moment of it. Your efforts are very much noted and a reflection of your generosity of your time.
💚 Samantha & Kevin — holding the Pump Rooms like pros (and starring in the now-famous kissing video 😘😂).
💚 Vicky — aka Drama, kind, reliable, supporting Gwendy with the children and a stint holding the Pump Rooms. Drama is repeating with helping next year😅
💚 Gwendy — guardian of the children all day, in her wonderfully warm and grounded way as she always does✨ we even had a mini version when Shannon showed up.
💚 Lynn — stepping in for the final Pump Rooms shift with effortlessly.
💚 TABS Catering 🍴🎉
For delivering a delicious buffet to both locations, right on time, beautifully presented and absolutely tasty! They even created a gluten-free option just for me — as beautiful and tasty as the rest. Truly a feast for everyone’s bellies and spirits!
To each and every one of you:
You made the festival what it was — magical, meaningful, joyful and utterly Tenbury.
Thank you for your time, your heart, your hands, your music, your storytelling, your delicious food, and your creativity! 💚🌿✨
