Tank News and Blog

You might have noticed the song and dance in the regional media over the past couple of weeks about Nottingham’s Purple Flag Week. The city wanted to celebrate its recently re-awarded… award… for the quality, safety and diversity of its nightlife and, as a leading Nottingham PR agency, Tank PR was called in to get the celebrations going.

After Monday’s Purple Carpet introduction, which treated Nottingham’s great and good to an evening of local filmmakers’ talents at the Broadway cinema, came the main public event – the Twilight Walk.

No, nothing to do with American teenage vampires. This was a gathering of over 100 people in the Market Square, who then walked around the city centre throughout the evening to highlight Nottingham’s culture and safety, with performances en route.

All of the performers were from Nottingham, and included circus entertainers, stilt walkers, Samba musicians, a gospel choir and, most striking of all, the Caribbean Carnival Queens and their very impressive outfits.

Lasting around an hour and a half, the procession, led by former Notts County footballer Michael Johnson, attracted a pretty sizable crowd who joined in, along with plenty of attention from those enjoying Nottingham’s evening offerings.

It seems the city has much to celebrate.
