Summer Fayre

Enjoy an afternoon of family fun at our annual Summer Fayre!

Step right up! We are thrilled to announce the return of our Summer Fayre. The carnival themed event takes place in the Hospice itself and outside in our beautiful gardens.

Come and join us for a family-friendly afternoon of fun that’s jam packed with exciting activities!

Families will be able to try their luck at hook-a-duck or test their throwing skills on the tin-can alley or the coconut shy. Children will be excited to ride the helter-skelter, have a jump on the bouncy castle and take part in face painting and craft activities such as balloon modelling.

There will also be live music and dance performances, toy, craft, jewellery and food stalls to peruse, raffles, a tombola, refreshments, an ice cream van and so much more!

Loveable Hospice Mascot, Hartley will be in attendance at our Summer Fayre, he’s looking forward to welcoming the public into his gardens, joining in with the paw-some activities and getting an ice cream treat. You can take it easy, indulge in a brew or Hospice gin cocktail, enjoy a slice of cake and take a look at the stalls on offer, or you can take part in the activities!

It promises to be a great start to the Summer holidays, watch this space for more additions to the day!

Free entry (but a suggested donation of £1 per person is very welcome).
