Get creative with the Leas Lift Colouring Competition!
We’re inviting artists of all ages to take part in a special Colouring Competition. Local illustrator Tom Bradshaw / ScribeYak has created a brilliant drawing of the historic lift and its journey to restoration – now it’s your turn to bring it to life with colour, imagination, and flair!
The competition opened on Sunday 31 March, and entries must be submitted by Monday 22 April. There are four age categories to keep things fair and fun:
- Ages 0–4
- Ages 5–11
- Ages 12–16
- Ages 17 and over
One winner from each category will be invited to take a very special pre-launch ride on the Leas Lift when all our work is finished – an exclusive opportunity to be among the first people to travel on the newly restored lift before it officially reopens to the public.
How to enter:
- Pick a colouring sheet up from the Leas Lift Cafe container on Lower Sandgate Road or download and print from the button below.
- Add your colours using pencils, pens, paints – whatever you like!
- Take a clear photo or scan of your finished masterpiece.
- Email your entry to hello@leaslift.co.uk, making sure to include:
- The name of the artist
- Their age
- Contact details for a parent/guardian (if under 18)
We can’t wait to see how you imagine the Leas Lift in full colour!
