Last Saturday night (30th November 2024) vandals attacked shop fronts at Silver Street, Warminster. Among those damaged was the Coffee Garden, which had its window smashed, causing financial costs for repair and disruption to the business.
One of the first people to offer sympathy and support was Tanya Hinton, whose artwork – everything from birds to lemurs can be found on public view in Warminster on walls, doors and boarded-up windows. Tanya, in a message to the Coffee Garden after she saw the damage, wrote: “I’m so sorry to hear this! I would be happy to paint something on there for you which you could raffle when the board comes down to help recoup some of the costs!”
Tanya, true to her word, has now painted something really special on the window board. Today (Friday 6th December 2024) she writes:
After The Coffee Garden was vandalised and its window smashed last Saturday, I’ve given it a make over until the window is replaced! I’m happy to say the Coffee Garden is back open for business as usual! Do pop down and support this wonderful independent cafe (I can vouch that their coffee is excellent!)! I’ll be adding to the painting over the next few days to further fill the board, so do pop over regularly to check on my progress and sample their wares!
