St George’s Day and Shakespeare’s Birthday Garden Party

ON Thursday the 25th April 2024, our St. George’s Day Garden Party was sold out, and a huge success. As the sun beat down from a glorious blue sky, the guests tucked into a splendid buffet washed down with endless Cava, whilst they were entertained by Messrs. Price, Taylor and Hair. The local community must have wondered what was happening as the entire garden joined in with medleys of old East End pub songs: with increasing enthusiasm as the Cava flowed! A huge thanks to Dawn and her team of caterers, movers, collectors, financial controllers and washing-uppers for making the event such a success!
