Description
What to expect…
Saturday 13th August 2022 | 3pm to 5.30pm
This is an outdoor event, on the lawn, with all table seating and plenty of marquee cover, so dress for the British weather and enjoy the music, delicious cakes, tea and Prosecco. Tables will be laid with fine china and cake stands and we are lucky enough to have Chelsie & Nicole Piano and Vocal Duo entertaining us for the afternoon. The ticket includes bottomless cake and tea or coffee and a glass of prosecco (or soft drink) on arrival with plenty more available from the Prosecco Station! The customary raffle and tombola will be there, as well as a cake & produce stall and plants to take home. We hope you will be able to join us for a fun afternoon, and we hope the weather will be kind to us. We have added extra marquee cover this year in case of rain to enable us to space out the tables as much as possible should we not be able to sit outside.
Parking…
Parking is free, but limited, so please arrive on foot where possible.
Our charity donations…
This year we have made the decision to split the proceeds three ways as follows:
Firstly we have chosen the incredible Leicestershire Air Ambulance, which unfortunately flies over the villages all to often. Secondly we will be making a donation to the amazing Rainbows Children’s Hospice and last, but definitely not least, we will continue to support our wonderful village church of St James’ Dadlington.
Reserving tables…
To make this an enjoyable and relaxed afternoon, we will be allocating tables via a seating plan. Ideally one online booking for your whole table would be fantastic and will really help us when organising tables. Your table will be allocated under the name of the person booking. If you are booking your ticket(s) to join a larger party on a specific table, just pop a note in the comments box letting me know at whose table you wish to be seated. Please note that smaller groups of 2-6 may be sharing one of our larger tables, but we will do out utmost to accommodate any requests typed in the comments box. For instance, if you feel vulnerable and would specifically like a table for say 2 people, just let me know and we will do our very best.
Booking tickets…
There are a limited number of tickets available, so please book early to avoid disappointment. For our planning purposes, this is an “all ticket” event with reserved seating, and we will be closing ticket sales on sell out, or by 31st July, whichever is sooner, to allow us to coordinate the seating plan. Ideally one online booking for your whole table would be fantastic and will really help us when organising tables.
There is no physical ticket – your online order will be added to our guest list. All you need to do is select your ticket quantity, add to your basket, then go to checkout. Once you have paid and completed your booking, you will receive a confirmation email (check your junk folder). There is no need to do anything else – we will download a guest list for entry, so just turn up on the day. If you have any dietary requirements please let us know either in the comments box at checkout or via email.
You can also buy tickets by phoning Kate on 07791 597027 to pay by card, or emailing hello@hallfarmdadlington.co.uk for bank transfer details, or in person with cash at Hall Farm. Again there will not be a physical ticket issued, but you and your party will be added to our guest list under the name of the person booking.
Please note that, in a bid to stay organised, we will be unable to reserve tickets without full payment.
Should extreme adverse weather mean we have to postpone the event, we will reschedule and your ticket will be carried over.
Who can come…
Everyone is welcome. Children under 5 are free. We kindly ask that you do not bring dogs.
Prize Donations…
We would be delighted and super grateful with any donations, be it cakes and bakes, raffle prizes, plants, or tombola prizes. If you would like to donate a prize, these can be dropped off at Hall Farm any time or email hello@hallfarmdadlington.co.uk and we can arrange collection prior to the event. For anyone wanting to bake for us, we are extremely grateful for cakes to be dropped of any time on Friday 12th or on the morning of Saturday 13th.
