Chris Evans spent 12 hours in that box as a sponsored event in support of The Butterfly Garden. We were hoping this Easter to complete 250 metres of pathway to provide wheelchair access to a wildlife garden.
This event would see it happen, and it sure did !

This was the agenda for that fateful day :-

AT 8.00 AM A LONE SCOTTISH PIPER WILL PIPE CHRIS INTO THE BOX.
THE PHONE WILL RING TO CONFIRM HIS ARRIVAL
JUST AFTER 8.00 AM A TEAM OF LANDSCAPERS WILL ARRIVE AND THEY WILL BUILD A GARDEN AROUND THE BOX.
AT APROXIMATELY 9.00 AM THE POSTMAN WILL CALL TO DELIVER MAIL
SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE BOX WILL BE FITTED WITH CARPET.
AT 11.00, CHRIS WILL TAKE DELIVERY OF THE PHONE BOX CAKE. A SUBSTANTIAL (15X15 SQUARE) DONATED COMMEMORATIVE CAKE WHICH IS TO BE RAFFLED.
AT 12.00 NOON THE PIPER WILL RETURN.
AT 2.00 PM THE THEATRE COMPANY ' PHONE BOX PRODUCTIONS' WILL ARRIVE AND AT 2.15 PM THERE WILL BE A PERFORMANCE OF THE CLASSIC "A PHOENIX TOO FREQUENT" FROM THE BOX.
AT 3.00 PM THE MAYOR OF TEWKESBURY COUNCILLOR PAUL OCKELTON WILL CALL AND TAKE AFTERNOON TEA IN THE BOX.
AT 5.00 PM A MYSTERY GUEST WILL CALL IN
AT 8.00 PM THE PIPER WILL RETURN AND WILL PLAY A LAMENT TO THE DEPARTED AND CHRIS WILL LEAVE THE BOX.

The day was filled with spontaneous visitors who had heard about the event,
"it was a very powerful experience, the support shown was totally amazing..."
