Godiva Awakes 2012

LADY GODIVA
28/29 July 2012


Edge artist Hazel attended the Godiva Awakes event in Coventry prior the journey to London 2012 Olympic Games.

Wow!  What a spectacular event illustrating genuine community spirit throughout the city and beyond Coventry; highly inspirational, joyous and so exciting.  The design was superb and the puppet was specially crafted by Imagineer Productions who are based in Coventry. Godiva appeared like a real life person; moving and greeting onlookers towering above them.  She wore in the first instance an amazing under-garment then her coat was applied and to be seated on a crafted horse and transported by the leg power of 100 cyclists.  She was extremely well received by people welcoming her on route to London.

It could not have happened if it were not for Imagineer Productions and the first class skills of the region, nationwide and global reaching across many sectors such as mechanics, theatre and artists, together with sponsorships by local companies.
One of these being where Hazel works - Cranfield Business Recovery, based in the City Centre of Coventry who were extremely proud to be the 1st Gold Patron of the Godiva.
