Stagecoach face mask design

In line with government guidance, face coverings must now be worn on public transport, unless you’re exempt.

We wanted to jazz up the humble face mask, while also helping the environment by not relying on disposables, which are often not recycled properly.  So, we asked for your help to come up with a design for a reusable mask and Matthew Cheung, a graduate designer at Hull University, won our competition. We have had an amazing response for our Stagecoach face mask and we have unfortunately  allocated all of our masks. The entry system is now closed. Please look out for anymore upcoming offers.

Find out more about our official Stagecoach mask in our latest news article.
