Things you don’t expect at Big Yellow 👀. This week saw this impressive sand sculpture, created for @TheIvyColle by @sandinyoureye arrive at one of our stores 🏰 . Our secure storage space will house the sculpture until the November grand opening of The Ivy Bournemouth.

We are really excited that our new village walk booklet is now available from the Heritage Centre or New Fountain Inn – price £2. It features twenty sites of historic interest around the village, and is a great outdoor activity for adults and children.

Nothing like a live event! Was lucky enough to be involved in a @devonfhs collaboration with Bow History Society. Nothing beats a get-together with lots of great chat for reminding me why I love this business! God bless village halls and all who sail in them #familyhistory
