The Saturday Clubs were set up by the Sorrell Foundation in 2009 and provide the opportunity for young people aged 14-16 to study art and design at a local college or university.

The club also organises trips and brings in practising designers to work with the youngsters.

The parade float was designed by Ben Wilson and featured work by club members from London, Plymouth, Sunderland and elsewhere.

Wilson says, “The mobile studio is a unique design project; its moving architecture was brought to life by the Saturday Club members.”
