Volvic hosts family colouring event in London this weekend

Volvic hosts family colouring event in London this weekend

Volvic Touch of Fruit Sugar Free, the fruit flavoured water, is hosting ‘A Touch of Colour’ a free two-day pop up for families along London’s sunny South Bank at Queen’s Stone on 5-6 August.

Families will be encouraged to get creative and complete a giant, 2.5m by 3m colouring cube that has been designed with illustrations including sketches of juicy lemons, vibrant strawberry fields, kiwis dangling from woody vines and a volcano to represent Volvic’s unique origin.


Volvic Touch of Fruit Sugar Free flavoured water will be available all day long to help families stay happy and hydrated in the sunshine – including deliciously refreshing Sugar Free Strawberry, Peach & Raspberry, the new flavour Kiwi & Lime and more.

This event follows brand new research, commissioned by Volvic, that has revealed keeping children hydrated is a top priority for parents this summer, with 4 in 5 parents determined to ensure their kids’ water bottles are adequately topped up and almost half on ‘hydration high alert’ considering methods like freezing fruit into ice cubes and making ice lollies to help keep their little ones topped up.

The pop-up will be open to all (children aged 3+ will be invited to participate in the event for health and safety reasons) from Saturday from 12pm to 6pm and Sunday 10:30am to 6pm, and both days will be free to the public. JLS star Aston Merrygold and wife Sarah will be bringing their kids to sip and sketch at the event.

Since forming a partnership with Co-op Live for its opening earlier this year, several different flavours of Squashies have been available to purchase at the venue, and Swizzels has also provided personalised rolls of its iconic Love Hearts to performers.
