• Demos by top painters and artists, including airbrush make-up, face painting, body art, prosthetics, balloons, nail art, mehndi henna, pregnant ‘bump’ painting, festival faces and grown-up party eyes,
• Merchandise stands, so painters can stock up on essential paints, glitter, balloons, tables and chairs,
• FACE, the International Face Painting Association,
• Children’s entertainment (family and friends are welcome),
• Giant raffle with fantastic prizes, and
• A photographer will be making prints on the spot throughout the day.
The public will also be visiting from midday for painting. All proceeds will be going to the Zoological Society of Hertfordshire.
