Step back in time to the world of Crimpton-on-Sea. Inspired by the beloved holiday camp classics filmed on our very own doorstep, this collection celebrates the kitsch, the color, and the characters of the local coast. Including the 'Pavilion Clown' - who you will either remember from the pilot episode, or his legendary residency at the Clacton Pavilion.
There are 6 designs to choose from:
The Voice of the Camp
The heart (and the voice) of the camp. Whether she’s at the piano or on the tannoy, she runs the show with a sharp eye and a very Welsh flair.
The Ultimate Camp Hustler
If there’s a scheme afoot or a few extra bob to be made, he’s your man. He knows every trick in the holiday camp book and exactly how to work the crowd.
The Chalet Maid with Big Dreams
Always seen with a mop in one hand and a dream in the other. She’s just one audition away from the entertainment team! If only the Manager would notice!
The Grumpy Children’s Entertainer
A man who prefers a quiet pint to the 'little monsters.' While his tricks often went wrong, the actor was actually trained by Walton’s own magic legend, Lenny Blease.
The Laughing Legend
The famous Clacton clown has been laughing with thousands of holidaymakers at the entrance to the Clacton Pavilion over his many years on duty. Fans of a certain classic seaside sitcom may also recognise him from his starring role in the pilot episode -standing tall as the gatekeeper of a Crimpton-on-Sea holiday camp.

Meet the Maker: Oh My Naze!
"I believe the best stories are found right on our doorstep. Our work is driven by our passion for the hidden history of our local area - from the bustling holiday camps of yesteryear to the quirky landmarks, and people that define our childhood memories."
The Crimpton-on-Sea collection began with a sketch of the iconic clown who I remember being situated outside the Clacton Pavilion - he also featured in the pilot of a locally filmed TV show! By recreating these icons, I hope to keep the spirit of our local heritage alive. Every piece I create is a nod to the nostalgia, the humour, and the unique character of the places we call home."
