Wold Top Garden
NGS garden and brewery open day in the heart of Hockney Country
Visitors to the popular Yellow Book garden Hunmanby Grange on the Yorkshire Wolds will get extra value for money on the Diamond Jubilee holiday weekend of 2nd and 3rd June when the opening of the garden coincides with the annual open day for award winning East Yorkshire micro-brewery, Wold Top Brewery.
For just £3.50 visitors will be able to tour the beautiful and interesting garden that Gill Mellor has created despite its exposure to the elements and a challenging soil. Gill will share her stories about how the garden has evolved over a quarter of a century into a series of gardens that have been developed depending on shelter, aspect, views and need. There will also be plants on sale.
Visitors to the micro-brewery will see where and how the award-winning ales are made and will be able to talk to the brewery team about what makes Wold Top’s ales so special. There will also be special offers on bottled beers and refreshments will be available.
The gardens and the brewery will be open between 11am and 5pm on both days and proceeds from the entry money will go via the NGS to charity. St. Cuthbert’s church in Burton Fleming will benefit from the proceeds from the refreshments.
NGS gardens across England and Wales welcome over 750,000 visitors a year to 3,700 gardens of quality, character and interest and raise over £2.5 million each year for nursing, caring and gardening charities. For more information, please visit www.ngs.org.uk. Last year the garden’s open day raised over £1800 for NGS charities.
Scarborough charity steps up charity drive for cholera stricken Haiti
A Scarborough based charity has stepped up its fundraising drive following news from Haiti that the incidence of cholera has increased dramatically following recent flooding.
SASH (Sustainable Aid Supporting Haiti) founders Will Brown and Melanie Coull have reported that over the last three weeks the number of cholera cases has spiked to 241, the largest number of cases since the epidemic began in October 2010 and that most of the cases are in areas where the river has flooded and inundated latrines, open wells and peoples’ homes.
Commenting on the latest spike from SASH’s base in the Leogane area Will Brown said; “At this time the cholera treatment centres are at capacity but are coping and the mortality rate remains 0.98% which is better than we’d hoped. All of our hygiene communications are focusing on educating people about how to protect themselves from contracting cholera but we’re still facing problems with people thinking that the water is safe to drink if it looks clean, but in fact no water is currently safe to drink without boiling or adding aquatabs.”
Melanie Coull continues; “This is very disturbing news and once again highlights the need for ever more wells. Please support SASH by buying a ticket for the Summer Spectacular at Hunmanby Grange or by making a donation to SASH through the website www.sashaiti.org or send donations to SASH Glebe House, Front St, Wold Newton, YO253YQ
The Summer Spectacular evening takes place on 12th July and features entrance to the Hunmanby Grange gardens, a Haitian style supper, live music and a grand firework display. Tickets for the event cost £40 and are available by calling Rebecca Martin on 01723 581236. Dress code for the evening is loud, warm and bright!
