Fun for all the family at the Brooke House garden fete

Brooke House residential care home, in Brooke Gardens, Brooke, is inviting families to its summer garden fete from 2pm to 5pm on Saturday, July 30.

Home manager Dean Jermy said: “After the long isolation of the Covid lockdowns it is great to be able to put on an event for the local community again.”

There will be a range of stalls, including bric-a-brac, crafts, sweets, cakes, records, books and food.

Traditional fete games will include a coconut shy, wine or water and Guess the Weight of the Cake.

There will be face painting and a children’s fancy dress competition judged by Dean and hospitality manager Kellie O’Dea.

Further attractions include a tombola and raffle with exciting prizes, including a grand hamper of chocolates!

Dean said: “Brooke House was once the grand family home of the Mackintosh family so we decided to celebrate our history with a delicious chocolate hamper prize.”

Fete goers will have the chance of a close-up encounter with visiting alpacas while local vocalist Kyle will sing songs through the decades.

There will be goody bags for all children!

Parravani’s ice cream van will be in attendance.
