Primrose Marquees has been established by family members, Cameron, Nicole and Larry Walker.

Founder and Co-Owner, Nicole Walker said: “We are very lucky to start our own marquee business aimed at clients looking to hold a wedding or event in one of our beautiful marquees.  But because we have received a lot of invaluable help and support along the way, we believe in the power of giving back and making a difference, particularly as it is now very challenging for charities to raise funds.”

She added: “This is why we are passionate about setting up and supporting a charitable event to help create positive change within our local community and this is the reason that ‘Canvas of Kindness’ was born.”

To date, the business has received some heart-felt fund-raising ideas, but more applicants are invited to apply to be considered in this fund-raising opportunity.
