Teddy Bears' Picnic in Wivelsfield

Local children in Wivelsfield enjoyed an afternoon of fun and games with their favourite furry friends at a teddy bears’ picnic organised by Wivelsfield Green Playgroup.

Activities included a treasure hunt, races and games, best dressed teddy competition and a teddy first aid corner. After a delicious tea and cooling ice lollies, the children were thrilled to meet Sunny Bear, who represents Sunfield: a charity which supports children with severe & complete learning needs mainly relating to autistic spectrum disorders.

Teddy bears’ picnic organiser, Barbara Harty said “We’ve been blessed with glorious weather and all the children have had such a fun time that we will definitely be doing it again next year.”

More mascots including: Nellie, Norbits, Lion, Tadworth Hound and Sunny Bear representing several charities will be welcoming everyone to Wivelsfield Village Day on Saturday 18th July. Watch out for the mascots racing in their very own egg & spoon race.

More information about Wivelsfield Village Day, which will be held on the village green on Saturday 18th July from 10am – 5pm, can be found on http://www.wivelsfield.net/ .

Is this the start of the bike ride, NO! Its the start of the Secret Gardens in Hurst

Hi Nicole,

Very grateful thanks for the super article about the Hurst Secret Gardens, I attach a couple of photos for your interest - one of people buying plants and two of cyclists at the open gardens (it coincided with the London to Brighton bike ride and it looked like some of them had strayed into our event by mistake!).

Thought you would be pleased to know that about 700 people visited the gardens and so far I've banked over £4,800 for St. Catherine's Hospice - a brilliant result! There's still a bit more to come from 'leftover' plants and cake sales. Local shops and businesses donated 22 super prizes for the raffle.

The garden owners worked jolly hard and all the 12 gardens looked amazing, those doing refreshments were rushed off their feet taking more than £1,322, the plant sale and raffles were also really busy the whole afternoon. Lots of people gave time, cakes, plants, donated all sorts of things, which helped make the afternoon such a success. I've even had people I don't know telephone to say how much they enjoyed the event, what superb gardens (and teas!) and will I please let them know when the next one will be!

Kind regards,
Jan
