We are delighted to announce the opening 2 brand new Brewers stores across the country, available for all your decorating needs!

Brewers Bedford:

Picture 1Whilst Brewers has been established in Bedford for twenty years, the time had come to move to a new home. Located on Unit 8 & 9, Kingfisher Business Park, MK42 0NY, the new store is now open for business. Situated in a thriving industrial estate, the bigger and brighter store will be the ultimate destination for all the finest brands in paints, wallpaper and woodcare. With two brand new tinting machines from Benjamin Moore and Zinsser, and a great space for browsing wallpaper collections and colours, you will be spoilt for choice!

The same fantastic team are ready to welcome you into their brand-new store and are on hand for any advice you may need. Rebecca Nicholas is branch manager of the Bedford store and has been with Brewers for five years after six years in the painting and decorating industry down under.

Mark Hemming has been with Brewers for a decade, having previously worked as a painter and decorator (and a keen Brewers customer!) for over 30 years and Mark Lazell has been with Brewers since Brewers Bedford opened its doors in 2002. The brand-new store will mark the next exciting chapter!

Brewers Dorking:

Picture 2We are also excited to announce a Brewers Decorator Centre will be coming to Dorking in May! Located on 209-213 High Street, Dorking, Surrey, RH4 1RU, the newest Brewers store will be in the heart of Dorking, and home to the finest brands in paint, wallpaper, woodcare and fabrics.

Stocking a wide variety of trade quality and designer paints, Brewers Dorking will stock Albany, Dulux, Crown, Johnstone’s, Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Mylands. Thousands of colours will be available to choose from with in-store tinting facilities from Benjamin Moore, Farrow & Ball, Crown, Albany, Dulux, Mylands and Johnstone’s, which means you can take these colours away the very same day.

The store will also have wallpaper pattern books to browse, a range of woodcare products from brands such as Osmo, Sadolin and Cuprinol, and plenty of sundries to choose from to ensure you achieve the perfect finish.

Brewers Dorking will be open on from the 4th of May and branch manager Wayne Broughton looks forward to welcoming customers to the brand-new store soon!

Sarah Harrison, local Bedford artist reached out to Brewers Bedford for the donation of Albany Smooth Masonry paint in a range of colours to support The Big Trunk Trail. Canary, Mariner Blue, Sapling, Spring, Channel Blue, Black, Bronze Gold, Plum, Sky, Blossom and Deep Pink were just some of the colours used in the vibrant piece.

 

The Big Trunk Trail - Paint DonationThe Big Trunk Trail brought together communities and visitors across Luton at their biggest and most unique outdoor public art event. Over 30 giant elephants were decorated and placed in Luton’s key landmarks, streets, and open spaces for people to come and discover.

Wild in Art and Keech Hospice Care were in partnership with Love Luton and others to bring The Big Trunk Trail to Luton between 10th July – 8th October 2021. Sarah Harrison was one of the 30 selected artists commissioned to paint one of the elephant sculptures.

The elephants are made from fibreglass, finished in white primer with outdoor waterproofing varnish. Brewers Bedford were more than happy to supply the rest of the materials required to help Sarah achieve her design.

“Trunks through Changing Seasons” or as he is more affectionately known, “Acorn” was painted between March-May 2021 and adorns a beautifully bright representation of trees throughout the changing seasons.

P1633711“My dream has been to work big, and to work outdoors. It has been so exciting to participate in my first ‘Wild in Art’ project, meeting and learning from other artists, then seeing the public’s reaction and interaction with the elephants has been amazing.

Art has the power to start conversations, spark joy and bring people together.

Public space is the ultimate gallery, accessible to all. With the added magic that passers-by can discover artwork, in streets or parks, unplanned and by chance.”

“The elephant sculptures have played a role in storytelling, community building and place-making, during their parade around Luton this summer.

The trail has combined creativity and walking, two great ingredients for wellbeing – with the timing particularly meaningful, whilst coming out of lockdown.”

“Thank you, Brewers, for your beautiful vibrant Albany masonry paints. They were such a treat to use, and people have commented on how lovely the colours are.” Sarah Harrison, Artist, Sarah Harrison Illustration.

P1644275All of the elephants are a part of a ticketed farewell event at Stockwood Discovery Centre this week (30 October – 7 November) before The Big Trunk Trial Charity Auction on 11th November. The 34 adult elephants will retire to their new homes, raising funs for Keech Hospice Care.
