A Python On The Prom

Our campaign aims to raise a statue of Terry on the Promenade in his home town of Colwyn Bay. It’s really important that our campaign succeeds without using public funds. We dearly hope we can rely on the love for Terry from people around the world, to raise £120,000 to cover every aspect of raising this statue. Colwyn Bay gave us Terry and we are hoping to give something back.

A bit about Terry and his love of Colwyn Bay

Terry needs no introduction…but just in case - he was the Welsh one in Monty Python, that comedy collective who were famous for having their film, Life of Brian, banned in Aberystwyth. Born in Colwyn Bay, Terry was a proud Welshman, forever proclaiming his Welshness in an accent straight out of Surrey. The idea for a statue came from Terry’s friends at Theatr Colwyn. Terry was their very first Patron and he’d often come to Colwyn Bay for screenings or fundraising events. After his death due to dementia in January 2020, Theatr Colwyn contacted Sally and Bill, Terry’s children, and asked if they thought a statue of Terry might be a good idea. They both thought it would be wonderful and so this campaign was born.
