Summer Fayre

We were thrilled to welcome the community to our Hospice for our Summer Fayre on Sunday 21st July. The carnival themed event was a huge success with over 600 people visiting us for an afternoon of family-friendly fun that was jam-packed with activities!

With stalls and activities situated in the Hospice and outside in the beautiful gardens, those who attended on the day had the opportunity to take part in an afternoon of family friendly fun; including carnival games such as hook-a-duck, roll-a-coin, tin-can alley, and a coconut shy. Visiting children delighted in meeting Hartley, playing on the bouncy castles, helter-skelter and fire engine, plus the face painting and craft activities, while grown ups enjoyed the raffle, tombola, and the craft, jewellery and plant stalls in the outdoor marquee.

Attendees were also treated to entertainment by DJ Mick Matthews and live music from the Pennine Mencap Rhodes Bank Choir and singer Denis Ferrige, they enjoyed the food on offer including pizzas, hot dogs, nachos, cakes and even a gin cocktail featuring the Hospice’s very own 1989 specialist Gin.

It was a joy to see our visitors leaving the Hospice with big smiles, balloon animals, DIY craft crowns, purchases from the stalls and prizes from our raffle and tombola!

We are thrilled to announce that the Fayre brought in the highest it ever has with a grand total of £9126.37 (almost £3,000 more than the previous year), towards patient care at the Hospice, exceeding all expectations.

We'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came out to support the event, we hope you had a lovely afternoon.

We would also like to thank our Hospice volunteers, our neighbours and event sponsors, Booth’s Garden Centre, our corporate volunteers from Natwest, FRC Group and JLA Limited, Photographer Ken Rowlatt, DJ Mick Matthews, Singer Denis Ferrige, Pennine Mencap Rhodes Bank Choir, Greater Manchester Fire and Police Services, LLK Pizza Pros, BMS Event Medics, Kershaw's Krafties, our Independent Local Traders, and for the generous donations made by Warburtons, Tesco, Asda, B&M and Bidfood Royton.
