Huge Bristol colouring book bid to break world record | |
(1 day later) | |
A bid for the record for the world's biggest colouring book has been made at Bristol's Harbourside Festival. | |
All 16 pages of the 5m by 2.2m (16ft by 7ft) book - featuring scenes from the city drawn by local artists - were coloured in by Sunday afternoon. | All 16 pages of the 5m by 2.2m (16ft by 7ft) book - featuring scenes from the city drawn by local artists - were coloured in by Sunday afternoon. |
The book was measured by a surveyor and the attempt was witnessed by the BBC's Amanda Parr and Laura Rawlings. | |
The Guinness Book of Records will rule on whether the record of 10 sq m was broken once it receives the evidence. | |
That record was set in Poland in May 2014. | |
The world record attempt was the centrepiece of the "city green", near the Hippodrome in the city centre, and was organised by Hobs Reprographics in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). | The world record attempt was the centrepiece of the "city green", near the Hippodrome in the city centre, and was organised by Hobs Reprographics in partnership with the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA). |
The book was so big it had to sit on a specially made easel. It was coloured in by visitors to the weekend festival. | |
Correction 21 July: A previous version of this story suggested the world record had been broken. The attempt is still awaiting verification. |
