Although we spend most of our spare time fundraising for Prospect Hospice, there are two main events we hold.

Most of our year is spend organising, collecting, making things, etc etc.

 

Table Top Sale

Once a year we hold a table top sale in our garden, usually around May/June time. Lots of friends, family and complete strangers donate lots of goodies for us to sell. The saying ‘your rubbish is someone else’s treasure we have proved this by raising lots of money for Prospect Hospice,

 

As we can never guarantee the weather we put marquees up in the garden so everything is under cover. We hold the sale over a whole weekend and there are usually lots of goodies left over so we have a clearance sale on the following weekend.

 

Included on the weekend we have a bbq on the go, hot and cold drinks, home made cakes and pastries. Also very popular is our Tombola stall.

 

We are very fortunate that we can accept almost anything for the sale. The only items we cannot accept are large electrical items and large furniture. This is due to the lack of storage for such big items.

 

We are always grateful for any donations we receive, we sell books, toys. games, clothes, bric-a-brac, dvd’s, cd’s etc etc. You can donate anytime during the year, just contact us and either drop the goods into us or we can arrange collection (within 10 miles of Swindon)  

ChristmasDisplay

This is definitely our favourite time of year by far. Most of our year is spent gearing up for December and our very famous Christmas display.  

 

It takes a long time to organise, a lot of hard work and commitment but all the wonderful people who visit make it all worth while.

 

Lighting up is always 1st December at 6pm. Santa and his helpers are on hand every evening from 1st to 24th Dec 6pm-9pm. They will be giving away balloons and sweets to all the children who visit.   

 

No admission fees, we rely solely on donations.

 

As well as our wonderful display we also have Santa’s shop where you can get a FREE hot or cold drink. The shop also has lots of gift ideas, cards etc.  

 

Take your time to walk around the display there is a lot to see!

We look forward to welcoming you and your family - watch out for the snow !!
