With Barack Obama, half the world’s press, not to mention
several warships in town, Candy Jar decided to escape the chaos of the NATO
conference and hit the beach. Clear blue surf, white sands and not a soul to be
seen as far as the eye could see…
Well, not exactly.
Cardiff Bay Beach is the annual transformation of the heart of Cardiff Bay into
a fairground/urban beach the summer. With the world’s eyes on the city, this
year the beach’s opening was extended another week, and Candy Jar were invited to
pop down the road and run a stall.
With books in hand and authors in tow, the team manfully
shouldered the responsibility and spent the week at the simulated seaside –
pirates, sharks and water zorbing included. Thanks to the good people of
Cardiff Bay Beach for approaching us, to all of our authors who helped out, and
to everyone we spoke to over the course of the week.
