Many thanks to all our visitors, garden owners & volunteers who made our Open Gardens event last Sunday possible. The proverb "it takes a village" certainly applies to holding a successful open gardens. A record 900 adults + children attended the event with an amazing £11,408.98 in funds raised for charity. Our well used village hall will receive 50% of these funds with which they plan to purchase a new cooker, more suited to catering for large groups, with an efficient induction hob. They will also use these funds to purchase a new external village clock. £2704.49 will be ring fenced for the Ickleton children’s playground project to reinstate the much-loved zip wire and the excellent charity Tom’s Trust will receive £3,000 (just over 25%) Tom's Trust
We hope to open again in 2028!
