Faversham Monopoly is a project that really demonstrates how we can come together as a team to achieve something big, and this was really big!

The object of this project was to create a Faversham version of Hasbro's iconic board game, Monopoly. To do so we needed to raise over £50k (Plus VAT) to have it made under licence. This had to be done under the rules laid down by Hasbro and we wanted to have the games available by autumn 2023, just 18 months after we committed to go ahead with the project.

The idea was dreamt up by Liz, who has run it around her day to day business, helped by a team of volunteers and contractors.

Simon came up with the design of all of the promotional material, including 40ft banners we used to dress a carnival float!

Neil provided our website and shop where you can pre order a copy of the game, this was especially tricky, as we couldn't get this signed off until we had submitted the game to Hasbro for production. The product photography was also provided by Neil, to give shoppers a glimpse of how the finished game will look.

And Ima, who has provided the PR, the words and is now co-writing the book about how we did it.

Liz set her mind to doing this, but without being part of this collaboration it would have been much harder to do, and having a supportive team of like minded businesses makes the hardest tasks feel achievable!

Simon recently took part in a screen printing beginners workshop at Goose Studio.

Before you all ask, this event was not real! Although we would like it to be...

This course was lots of fun and Simon learned a great deal about the process, creating stencils, exposing screens, mixing inks and tapping up screens ready for printing.

The end result was x12 prints, dried and ready to take away.

If you are interested in having a go yourself, Sarah runs 1-day courses at Creek Creative, you can learn more about her work here - http://www.goosestudio.co.uk

With Shepherd Neame on board, Faversham Monopoly is one step closer to going into production!
Huge congratulations to Liz Jeffery from Shore Way Marketing on embracing the herculean challenge of making sure Faversham has its own dedicated monopoly game.
She's brought together the community and many of Faversham's businesses to make this dream a reality.
The game is going off to production on 17th April, so now is the very last chance for businesses to get involved and join other amazing local organisations such as Shepherd Neame, Faversham Markets, Harrisons Homes, Belmont House, Faversham Pools, Barley Mow, the Shrine of St Jude and many more.
Contact Liz on [email protected] as soon as possible.

Faversham’s long-held dream of seeing itself immortalised on its very own Monopoly board is set to pass go - and we are proud to announce that we are joining the local landmarks taking pride of place!

Our town’s board game will be licensed by makers Hasbro, and feature local businesses and landmarks including our famously Faversham-based brewery.

Local marketing agency, Shore Way Marketing , is the driving force behind the Faversham Monopoly project.

The Faversham version is also being created with involvement of the local community in deciding what’s on the board through competitions, events and the chance to nominate roads to feature.

Proceeds from every game sold will go directly to local charities and community groups.

Our Chief Executive, Jonathan Neame, said: “We are delighted to be among the famous Faversham landmarks and businesses to be included in the Faversham Monopoly project, which will be benefitting the local community.

“As Britain’s oldest brewer, Shepherd Neame has been on its site in Faversham for centuries, with our brewers producing award-winning beers for generations of people to enjoy. We are pleased to be teaming up with another well-known name – Monopoly – to put Faversham’s stamp on a well-loved board game. Let the games begin!”

Simon was recently invited to photograph at the City Mental Health Alliance Celebration 2022.

It was a packed schedule that involved photographing the whole evening's proceedings, including speakers, presenters, winners, musicians, guests and more.

When photographing events, it's always good to capture it as it unfolds - showing each part as if it were a visual story of the evening.

Images from the event will be used on social media and within a newsletter for updating clients and contacts.

If you would like to see Simon photographing your business or upcoming events, just drop a message to our page.
