On
Bank Holiday Monday 28 May 2018, Grittleton House is set to play host to the
annual Action Medical Research Plant and Spring Fair. The stunning Victorian Manor House will
welcome visitors to the house and grounds for the sixth year running.
The
fair promises the perfect spring day out, with plenty to satisfy plant lovers,
‘foodies’, and those who appreciate handmade gifts and artfully crafted
accessories. Offering over 50 different stalls, the fair’s vendors will range
from specialist nurseries selling plants to delicatessen food outlets. The items available to purchase will be
extensive, with something for everyone. Products are reported to range from
scented bath products to one-of-a-kind presents, handmade jewellery and more,
with every sale contributing towards the event’s charitable aims.
Grittleton House’s gates will open at 11.00 am,
with the event running until 3.00 pm. Entrance to the Spring Fair will be
charged at £3 per person, with children under 12 able to attend for free. Once
inside, visitors will have the opportunity to view the house and grounds,
including its famed Italianate gardens. There will be refreshments and
ice-creams available, something to keep the whole family happy.
Special guest Paddington Bear will also be
present, and on hand to meet and greet visitors both young and old. He’ll be
happy to have his photograph taken and is sure to put a smile on the faces of
the fair’s more youthful attendees.
Action Medical Research, the charity that
Grittleton Plant and Spring Fair will be supporting, is an inarguably worthy
cause. Offering a UK-wide service, it aims to change children’s lives through
encouraging and enabling medical research and the advances it can offer.
Funding an array of cutting-edge initiatives, it delivers real benefits to
babies, children, and young people alike, but needs on-going funding to
continue with its vitally important work.
This is something that the team behind
Grittleton Plant and Spring Fair hope to help it achieve. As Tracey Edwards,
community fundraising manager for Action Medical Research states: “We are
thrilled to be able to host this very popular Action Medical Research Plant and
Spring Fair at Grittleton House, and are extremely grateful to the Shipp family
for their wonderful support in allowing the event to be held at their home.”
“This year is the sixth year we have hosted [the
event] and we are looking forward to a fantastic day raising vital funds to
support Action’s life-saving and life-changing research projects. We simply
cannot fund our research without the kindness and contributions of our
wonderful supporters and the people who will visit the event on 28 May.
“Grittleton House was the ideal venue for us
when we were looking for a location to host the event. Spectacular, with
stunning gardens, it is in the perfect part of the country, being easily
accessible from Bath, Bristol, Swindon, Chippenham, and beyond. It also has all
of the elements we need to ensure our visitors can enjoy a fabulous day out
whilst raising funds.
“The team at Grittleton have been a joy to work
with, and so accommodating and supportive. The event is certainly becoming a
fixture in the Wiltshire calendar and we are very grateful to Grittleton House
for their on-going help.”
