Town Criers

A town cryer generates interest for all your major functions,including event's,product launches and festival's.A town crier is a well-known figure throughout the world,as they are used by local authorities,government agencies,blue chip companies,retailers,charities and public relations organisations.A town cryer can lead a very diverse life from one moment leading a parade to next opening a school fete or welcoming visitors to where ever required,whether it be a tourist attraction or opening a pub.

With their traditional costume,bell and their trademark call of "OYEZ, OYEZ",which is derived from the old French expression for "Listen!" or  "Hear Ye!",a town crier always attracts attention. Traditionally,town criers finish their proclamations with "God Save The Queen! (or King)".

The tools of the town cryers trade are a loud voice,a scroll and a bell which is an obvious means of gaining the attention of a crowd, although occasionally a drum or a horn may have been used. The scroll was a convenient way of ensuring that it was easy to read straight along the lines of a text, by rolling the scroll as it is read. After the proclamation had been read the scroll was often nailed to a post for the more literate members of the populace to read at their leisure - hence the expression 'to post a notice'.A town cryer is carrying on the art and tradition,as it has been necessary to have a trusted person with a clear,loud voice to deliver news and instructions to the population, many of whom could neither read nor write and dates back to the battle of Hastings in 1066.

Town criers are even mentioned in one of Shakespeare's plays and a town cryers motto is,"Have bell will travel".
