40% of our forest cover has disappeared over the 40 years that the Glastonbury festival has been running.

Whilst progress has been made in the support of an immediate moratorium on deforestation for palm oil – and the effect it is having on the climate and the plight of the orangutan – there is still much that needs to be done to secure real change on the ground in South East Asia. Our role therefore was to work with  Greenpeace to offer an amazing interactive experience for festival revellers, based around deforestation.  So, this year the Greenpeace field was rainforest themed, with the Globe as a stage on which we created Glastonbury’s first full musical show: “Palm Oil – The Musical”. Teams of Ministers also performed Ape TV news bulletins and a gameshow within an enormous TV set; and we produced loads of walkabout theatre and flashmobbing (with hoards of orangutans).

There was our near-legendary “Mass Wedding” – for which we had a massive 400 couples this year – and we polished everything off with a Tea Dance for The Fair Trade Foundation before a reception at which Stevie Wonder headlined.

Thanks to everyone at Greenpeace for having us – and bring on 2011!

Robinsons recently asked the UK to vote for the ‘Top 10 Most Memorable Wimbledon Moments’ from the last 75 years. The study of 5,000 people revealed that nearly a third of those who voted chose McEnroe’s legendary “You can not be serious!” episode as their most vivid memory of Wimbledon…with Cliff Richard’s impromptu singing performance at Centre Court in the rain of 1996 pushed down into second place.

Whatever the weather this year, Wimbledon and Robinsons are both firmly entrenched in the British Summer culture – and, however John McEnroe may have behaved nearly 30 years ago, our modern day MOF Tennis Umpire thought he was charming.

Onitsuka Tiger – a Japanese brand that makes uber cool trainers, sports clothing and accessories, if you didn’t already know - has both a rich heritage and loyal UK following; and they wanted to raise awareness of their flagship London store on (and around) Newburgh and Carnaby Street, bringing the brand to life….which the girls did, by entertaining shoppers from high, and inviting them inside for cake and discounts.

The eye-catching ‘chocolart’ is the latest piece of fun from Cadbury Dairy Milk.  The chocolate maker commissioned MOF Artist, Chris Naylor, to create a high impact piece of city centre art which would spread smiles on the street. The image is on a vacant wall at the vibrant Rag Market, opposite the Bullring, and it shows giant spiralling towers of milk and chocolate being ‘poured’ into a pavement vending machine.  Thankfully the vending machine was real and dispensed real chocolate for free (but today only!)

Viral video to come spiralling your way soon, so watch this space…

Our performers appeared live onstage every day alongside exotic animals, ranging from penguins, a lemur and wallaby…to a squirrel monkey and a Burmese python. Crowds were thrilled to have the opportunity to meet these creatures close-up and the message was clear: without Sea World and Busch Gardens, many of these creatures would be threatened with extinction.

Thanks to Freerange for another unforgettable tour – and thanks also to animal lovers across the UK for joining the fun!
