BrumTwestival – we did it!
Posted in Blog, Events, News by John
Well that was it folks! Only a few weeks since we first speculated about the possibility of organising a Birmingham Twestival and it actually happened. Thursday night saw Birmingham gather with over 175 cities around the world to get together and raise money for Charity: Water. The turnout was amazing and saw 185(ish) local tweeple make it down for an evening of music, raffles, games and general fun. To cap it off, the total raised was a superb £1519!
It has been a busy few weeks for us at 383 Project, having been involved in both BrumTwestival and doing design bits here and there for the wider Twestival campaign. We’re currently trawling through tons of press coverage and photos etc from around the globe and will do a separate follow up post in the coming weeks on Twestival’s impact as a whole.
For now, here’s a few more pictures from the evening provided by the very talented Lee Allen. Fullrange were also around on the night doing some filming so expect video content to follow!
Lastly, thanks to everyone who donated raffle prizes, got the word out and helped plug the event. Birmingham couldn’t have happened without the help of the other organisers. I’ve listed everyone below and would suggest if you’re not following them on twitter already you should do so- they are good people to know!
