Hundreds of Milton Keynes people broke a world record in memory of a four-year-old boy 10 years ago. Then the Chinese surpassed us and now we want to get our championship back and support a great cause again! Support us by completing co-creation tasks, crowdfunding or sharing our project. You will get interesting rewards and also make MK a better place:)
LocalFest is a festival connecting local people with local artists and interesting projects. Get inspired by new things, have fun, meet new people and interesting projects from Milton Keynes and taste great local food and drinks.
In October 2025 we also want to celebrate the anniversary of the Henry Allen Charity. Sam Poole, a Milton Keynes superstar supporting and promoting local business, conceived and organised breaking the world record for the most people in Onesie in support of The Henry Allen Trust back in 2013. Check out the video here.
Next year, to celebrate The Henry Allen Trust anniversary, we want to involve the whole community to break the record again. This will not only be a celebration of breaking a record but also a chance for the people of this great city to come together and support local charities and other amazing projects from MK. Through Sam’s previous work, we are proud to support The Henry Allen Trust and Milton Keynes Art Centre both of which do amazing work in the local community and beyond and it is this strength of community that we want to bring together and celebrate the great place that we live in.

This is a record attempt and a celebration; therefore, we want as many people to be involved as possible, but we need your help to spread the word.
We have created a crowdfunding campaign in association with CoLocals, who focus on supporting MK businesses and charities, to raise the money along with building their customer base and advocates. Any support you can give will be amazing and we want to recognise this with a selection of rewards that can in turn help to further build awareness and create the buzz before the big day.
