Step Into the Story This Summer with Demelza’s “Trail with a Tale” Proudly Sponsored by Kent Reliance

Looking for a fun, free, and meaningful activity to enjoy with the family this summer? Discover Demelza’s Trail with a Tale, a magical sculpture trail running in Tunbridge Wells from 29 July to 1 September, proudly sponsored by Kent Reliance in support of one of our long-standing charity partners, Demelza.

This enchanting trail features 30 beautifully decorated sculptures inspired by much-loved children's books and stories, scattered across the town for everyone to enjoy. Each sculpture has been uniquely designed to celebrate imagination, storytelling, and the creativity of the community.

Kent Reliance is delighted to sponsor one of these special sculptures a vibrant tortoise, lovingly designed and painted by children and families supported by Demelza through their art therapy programme. You can find our tortoise on display at the Amelia Scott Civic Centre in Tunbridge Wells.

Louise Earl from Demelza said:

“We’re incredibly grateful to Kent Reliance for sponsoring a sculpture for our Trail with a Tale. This is a fantastic summer trail designed for families to enjoy together, while helping raise awareness in Tunbridge Wells about the range of services we provide to children with serious or life-limiting conditions and their families.

The tortoise sculpture sponsored by Kent Reliance has been beautifully decorated by the children and families we support, during our annual spring events. You can visit it at the Amelia Scott Civic Centre in Tunbridge Wells.

A heartfelt thank you to Kent Reliance for supporting this fantastic project and helping us celebrate creativity, community, and care.”
