Milton Keynes City Centre Burntwood Town Centre

Our next stop on tour took us further down south to Buckinghamshire where we visited the city of Milton Keynes.

Unfortunately, as we arrived, we soon realised our spot for the day had been taken…however, we were then lucky enough to find somewhere else to set up shop for the day

In the end, this worked in our favour as we were park front and centre of the energetic shopping centre with people coming in and out of the entrance all day.

The rain was heavy throughout our time there, but this didn’t stop the bus from filling up relatively fast. Groups of people were learning all about harm reduction who otherwise might not have and so for once, we were thankful for the downpour.

What better way to take cover from the dreadful weather than aboard the Vapouround Bus learning the benefits of making the switch to a reduced-risk alternative.

It was clear when arriving at Burntwood on Easter Sunday that this sleepy town were mostly tucked up at home, devouring easter eggs and enjoying the bliss of the Bank Holiday weekend.

Even so, there was still a good crowd out in support of their local market and within a few short moments of setting up shop, we were approached by a young couple.

The pair were eager to take up the challenge of guessing the flavours in a little game we created onboard.

The young couple didn’t miss a beat as they sampled and correctly guessed the flavours of each individual vape, winning them a 5 out of 5 prize run. Smiles were all round as they left the bus covered in merch, with their complimentary disposables in hand…cheerily puffing away.

Next up was a flurry of competitive locals wanting to try to match the success of the victorious pair but all fell shy.

Alongside the fun and games, some great conversations were had but one in particular occurred with a local council member who had an outreach post based opposite the bus.

A young lady eager to improve her hometown, she was very impressed with the attraction the bus was getting and our overall mission at hand.
