We raised over £2,500 at our Garden Gig this year! We had a great line-up of talented local musicians and singers, and the audience enjoyed a sparkling welcome drink and a delicious 2-course meal which included a choice of BBQ, curries and a range of puddings and cakes. There was also a raffle and 'Name That Tune' fun musical challenge!
