Bracknell Forest Giants, which captured the imaginations of Bracknell last August, have won the prestigious Pineapple Award.
The Pineapples celebrate community engagement, activation, active travel, public space, and creative retrofitting.
The news comes as the Giants are set to return to The Lexicon from August 24 to September 4.

“Industry experts agreed that the Bracknell Forest Giants, which captured the hearts and imaginations of Bracknell town visitors last August, were the worthy winners of a prestigious Pineapple Award.”
There will be two new giants joining the three that visited the town centre last year.
Rob Morris, general manager at The Lexicon says: “Last year’s Bracknell Forest Giants proved so popular that we thought we would do it again, only bigger, better and with a whole host of new interactive elements befitting of our fifth birthday.”
