Time for Strawberry Tea!

Summer is officially here, so it seems fitting that we are busy preparing for this year's Strawberry Tea.  The event, in aid of Breast Cancer Care, is due to take place on Thursday 16th July.  Tea and cake will be served against the stunning backdrop of the stable block courtyard.

Staff and volunteers are busy raiding the cookery books in search of the perfect cakes to serve and the Events Office disappearing beneath a mountain of raffle and tombola prizes.

We are also busy planning other activities for the day, last year we had a second hand book stall and stalls selling cakes and jams to take home.  Watch this space to find out what we will have in store for this year!

It promises to be a really fun day and what's more, it's for a fantastic cause.  We hope to see you all there!
