Here Be Giants
In 2005, Strange Cargo Arts helped local students
and residents to create a giant processional figure of the fifteenth century
mayor John Drury, and the group 'Big Burghers' of Sandwich was born. Big John has been seen at various events in the
area and was a figurehead for BASH's 1457 celebrations.
A giant wedding took place on the 1st to the 3rd of June 2007, when Big John married his Sandwich sweetheart Elizabeth Short at Leeds Castle. BASH hosted a variety of entertainments at the wedding celebrations over the three days, which were attended
by giant guests Chester the Jester, Torrent of Littlebourne, Flora of Singleton and Lily of Herne Bay.
