Staffordshire Day, our county’s celebration of all things Staffordshire, is 10 years old this year. This year, ‘Staffy’ our new visitor mascot, will help thousands of people discover our wonderful county and what makes us unique.

There are many different opportunities for students of ages to get involved in the Staffordshire Day campaign, including:

  • The Staffy Trail – joining with a professional artist to create a unique design for one of ten large ‘Staffy’ sculptures that will make up a major art trail launching on Staffordshire Day.
  • Stitched for Staffordshire – creating unique textiles to create a Staffordshire past, present and future display
  •  Attraction Action – creating a display of various mediums that will be showcased throughout the spring and summer.
