Message from Claire and Beth
As part of our Village Fete on 13th June, we’re putting together some lovely raffle hampers — including a magical children’s hamper packed with fun surprises for our younger villagers! 🎈🧸🍬 We’d love the whole village to be involved.
If you’re able to contribute just one little treat, we would be hugely grateful. We’re looking for goodies such as:
🍯 Honey
🍓 Jam /marmalade
🍪 Biscuits
🥒 Pickles / chutneys
🍫 Chocolates
🍾 Wine, champagne & cordials
🫖 Tea, coffee or any tasty treats
🧸 Small toys, colouring books, sweets or fun children’s goodies for the children’s hamper
Homemade or shop-bought, everything is welcome! Even a single jar or small contribution would help us make the hampers feel extra special.
Even if you can’t make the fete itself, you can still be part of the fun by donating something for the raffle.
Please could all contributions be dropped off at The Barn House by 11th June.
Thank you so much for helping make this a fun, generous and truly village-wide event for everyone.
With thanksClaire and Beth
