On Sunday 13th July, 2008 from 12 noon until about
5.00 pm,
Ferring Friends of St. Barnabas are holding their popular Open Gardens event.
Not only beautiful gardens to see, but plenty of interest for all the
family.
During the last
three years we have raised over £20,000 and as the Hospice now confirms its
rebuild plans for the new hospice to be sited in Titnore Lane, we are really
keen to make this event a huge fundraiser for them.
The feedback from last
years event was tremendous, and with added attractions this year’s event will be
even more fun and is definitely one for the diary. A list of all the gardens and
attractions can be found in the entry Passport, together with a map of the
event.
With well over 30 gardens involved, this is a family event with lots to do and see. Refreshments are
available in many of the gardens including Ploughman’s lunches, barbecue, cream
teas etc. There is live music to entertain you and children
are well catered for with various games, quizzes, treasure island, lucky dip,
face painting, pottery painting, skittles ... and more (location and times in
entry Passport), And of course, ice creams.
Stalls selling a large variety of items will be found along the route including
cake stalls, jewellery, books, plants, home made cards, bric-a-brac, puzzles,
stationery, and our course our big raffle with super prizes. There will also be
the opportunity to join the St Barnabas Lottery. Donations of cakes, raffle
prizes or items for our stalls would be very much appreciated.
Entry is by Family Passport at a cost of £3 for a family of 4 – terrific value for so much to do
and see. The Passport will be available from the St Barnabas shop in Ferring,
some local shops, and from gardens on the day.
