REINDEER EVENING
|
 |
|
On Monday 5th December 2011, the Cairngorm
Reindeers visited Burwash Manor. We were lucky enough
to have them with us for one magical evening. Families
were able to meet the reindeers, have a chat with Father
Christmas, watch Jezzo the Magician and of course visit
the fairground, have a hog roast and sample some mulled
wine!

In just two hours we raised over
£4000 for the Countryside Restoration Trust.

APPLE DAY
|
|
|
October 8th 2011. The annual Apple
Day at Burwash Manor was, as ever, a fantastic success.
Hundreds of visitors helped us to raise over £2,000
for the Sick Children's Trust.
The day started with vintage ploughing matches and a
hedge laying competition which was a great chance to
witness some traditional farming practices. The tractor
and trailer rides to get there were included in the
fun! Crowds also flocked (!) to see falconry displays,
demonstrations of willow weaving, chainsaw carving,
survival skills and learn how herbs can be used as remedies.
The event itself, being all about apples, had apple
identifiers (from East of England Apples and Orchards
Project) on hand to tell keen gardeners what the apples
growing in their garden were, and how to look after
them. And if they had too many apples, they then took
them to Jack the Juicer who spent all day turning them
into fantastic fresh apple juice!
During the day, families were able to sample a wide
range of food and, for the parents, the beer and cider
tent! And once refuelled, they enjoyed entertainment
from Punch and Judy, Sawston Steel Band and a host of
stalls offering everything from face painting to Tonka
Toy assault courses.

DETOX WITH DRAGONFLY
|
|
|
On January 20th 2011, Dragonfly invited
guests to recover from the festivities and treat themselves
to an evening of cleansing, detoxifying indulgence as
their therapists demonstrated and discussed their wonderful
treatments in aid of local charity, Wallace Cancer Care.
The beautiful Burwash salon offered lots of detox-y
drinks (with blueberry and peach being the firm favourite
smoothie!) and nibbles throughout the event, their visitors
received at least one free mini-treatment, and they
gave them a fantastic goodie bag to take home! With
entry costing just £10, they were thrilled to make £344
for Wallace Cancer Care.

Wallace Cancer Care were thrilled
that we raised over £300 from the event.
