Swineshead Toad Competition

Make and create your own Toad and have a free entry to win some treasure!

Send us a photograph of your finished toad and keep your toad safe, ready to be displayed during the Swineshead King John Pageant weekend in 2016.  For more details about the Swineshead Pageant, click here.

Every toad made will be entered into the competition to win one of the beautiful crowns being made by the talented jeweller, Kathleen Smith from Ideas and Making. Kathleen is currently replacing some of King John’s lost treasure with 10 small courtly crowns. Kathleen will select the winning toad who will receive his fabulous crown at the Pageant weekend. Toads will be judged on their overall character, so it doesn’t matter if your stitches aren’t very neat!

We can’t wait to see how creative you get, good luck!
