Title : Macmillan builds British skyline from biscuits to celebrate the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning The record-breaking event returns for the 26th year

In celebration of the millions of people around the UK who make the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning a record breaking fundraising event, Macmillan Cancer Support will be unveiling a huge art installation - an entire British skyline made out of 25,000 biscuits!

Launching at the Koppel Project (Baker Street) on Wednesday 7th September and on display until Sunday 11th September, the huge biscuit sculpture takes up all of the window fronts of the Baker Street space. The installation showcases a range of UK landmarks with each being chosen to give thanks to the millions of people that helped raise £27.6 million during last year’s World’s Biggest Coffee Morning event alone.

Macmillan has used its 26 years of experience to identify wonderful coffee morning hosts from across the country and immortalised their local landmarks in the art piece. From London to Edinburgh and Chelmsford to Bristol, there are eight of the UK’s most iconic landmarks on display.

Since its creation in 1990, the Macmillan World’s Biggest Coffee Morning has raised a staggering £165 million. To be part of this year’s event on Friday 30th September 2016 visit www.macmillan.org.uk/coffee and register to hold your own coffee morning to help ensure no one faces cancer alone.

The landmarks on display will be:
· The Shard – The nation’s capital boasted 7,500 coffee mornings last year with the most taking place in SE1

· Whitby Abbey – Traditionally known for its tea, Yorkshire boasted the most coffee mornings in England with 8,392 taking place across the county

· Old Trafford – Mancunians put on a good party with Greater Manchester holding 4,097 coffee mornings

· Edinburgh Castle – Whilst coffee mornings took place as far north as the Shetland Islands, it was the people of Edinburgh who held the most coffee mornings in Scotland, with the most registrations in a single postcode coming from the area.

· Welsh Assembly – The Welsh capital Cardiff stole the show in Wales with the most coffee morning registrations in a single postcode coming from the centre of the city.

· Hylands House – The jewel of the Essex countryside, Chelmsford held the most coffee mornings in the east of England last year

· Clifton Suspension Bridge – Bristolians held more coffee mornings than anywhere else in the South West

· Macmillan Cancer Information and Support Centre – In Londonderry, Macmillan is investing £1.5 million in a new Macmillan Support Centre on the health and wellbeing campus at Altnagelvin Hospital. Local people have thrown their support behind fundraising for the project with the most coffee morning signs up in Northern Ireland coming from this area last year.
