EVENTS
The English Riviera Cats Trail
28 May - 4 Sep
Torquay Museum
A brand new exciting English Riviera Cats Trail will be launched on Saturday 28th May by Torquay Museum. You are challenged to find the 20 ceramic cats displayed around Torbay, each with a unique theme and beautifully decorated by local artists and schools. A prize of lots of cat-related goodies for the overall winner is up for grabs.
Simply pick up an English Riviera Cats Trail sheet from Torquay Museum, or download it at the bottom of this page, find the cats, each with a mystery letter, and then use the letters to reveal the hidden cat-related phrase. Completed entry forms can be handed into Torquay Museum, and the lucky winner will be notified after the Cats Trail finishes on 4th September.
“We are absolutely delighted by the response of local primary schools and artists who have come together to make this trail possible by beautifully decorating the ceramic cats, which form the centre pieces of the trail,” said Heather Adams and Kate Richards of Torquay Museum’s Education Team. “The idea was to create a trail to celebrate the Museum’s popular Claws: A Human History of Cats temporary exhibition, and we wanted to get our local community involved.”
The cats will be displayed in 18 easily accessible locations around Torbay, ranging from the Berry Head Guardhouse café in Brixham to libraries in Paignton, Torquay, Churston and Brixham. The final three cats can be found at Torquay Museum itself.
The English Riviera Cats Trail will be launched on Saturday 28th May with a series of family-friendly cat-related art activities at Torquay Museum, from face painting to mask making and much more.
