Forster helps raise over £65,000 for Royal Parks

Peter Blake design for the Deckchair Dreams auction

Celebrity-designed deckchairs raised over £65,000 for The Royal Parks Foundation at an auction in June, held as part of their public art initiative, Deckchair Dreams.

Damien Hirst, Antony Worrall Thompson, Sam Taylor-Wood, Sir Peter Blake, Will Young and Blek le Rat were amongst the 25 artists and celebrities who created inspiring canvases for Deckchair Dreams.  The canvases will be reproduced for everyone to sit on and enjoy on deckchairs across the Royal Parks between June and October.

Forster conceived Deckchair Dreams two years ago as part of our ongoing donation of time and expertise to The Royal Parks Foundation. This year, we've provided facilitation and PR support for the auction, which is raising vital funds for the care of thousands of trees across the 5,000 acres of historic parkland within the Royal Parks. 

You can buy your own deckchair to dream in online at the Deckchair Dreams website.
