One of the main events at the Bristol Twestival will be our fabulous charity raffle. We’ve been on the hunt for some fantastic prizes and the Twitter community hasn’t let us down! Remember, you can’t win if you’re not there!
Aardman Animations has donated a money-can’t-buy prize! We have a poster and copy of Cracking Animation signed by company founders Peter Lord and David Sproxton and Nick Park, the Oscar winning creator of Wallace and Gromit to give away.
Trunki founder Rob Law may have failed to secure investment on Dragons’ Den but his unique children’s suitcases are flying off the shelves in high street stores like John Lewis. The entrepreneur, who has certainly proven Peter Jones and co wrong, has donated a Trunki to our raffle. Thanks @Trunki.
DaisychainBaby.co.uk, the environmentally friendly babycare retailer, has provided us with a prize for all you eco-conscious parents! Up for grabs is a Beaming Baby gift pack of skincare products for your little ones plus a fabulous organic cotton blanket from Imse Vimse. Thanks @DaisychainBaby.
Making The News is giving Bristol Twestival partygoers a chance to hit the headlines with a personalised newspaper front page. Thanks @makingthenews.
Purple Dogfish, the web design, development, marketing and print company, is giving you the chance to turn your favourite photograph into a fantastic 50cm x 50cm canvas. The prize is worth £100. Thanks @RachaelWyatt.
Jack Martin Leith, a business consultant who has worked with the likes of the European Commission and Royal Dutch Shell, has donated a two hour Ideas For Success session suitable for individuals and businesses alike. Thanks @jackmartinleith
Jam Factory designer Gavin Strange, who is also a senior online designer at Aardman Animations, has donated one of his fabulously cute Droplet vinyl toys. Thanks @JamFactory.
MimiMyne, the online eco-friendly children’s toys, clothes and furniture company, has provided another must-have for you tweeting parents! Founder Tabitha Potts has donated two child-sized organic Fair Trade calico carrier bags made for exclusively for MimiMyne. Thanks @MimiMyne

Fantastic prizes I’m sure you’ll agree. But we haven’t finished our search! We’re keen to offer as many raffle goodies as possible so if you’d like to donate something in return for lots of promotion for you and your business get in touch via @bristwestival or bristwestival@googlemail.com. Remember, 100% of the money we raise at the Bristol Twestival will go to charity: water.












That all sounds well worth a trip out - can’t wait!
The prize I’m donating has been increased to a half-day Ideas to Success session (also called a Rap Session: review progress, assess the current situation, plan for success).
Just to throw my hat in the raffle also with a day’s business consultancy (I’m a bit slower than Jack).
See you all there on the night!
