Oakhaven Family Fun Day - Saturday July 15th

On Saturday July 15th the gardens of Oakhaven Hospice was the setting for the Annual Family Fun Day, hundreds of people turned out in the perfect weather to support Oakhaven.

The stalls, staffed by volunteers, were full of cakes, crafts, flowers, bric a brac and other must-have items.  There were face painters, rides and a clown for the children along with cream teas, minature golf and classic cars.  ITV Meridian sent along a camerman to film the event, and as we go to print, in excess of £7,000 has been raised for the hospice.

Oakhaven would like to thank the sponsors, volunteers and everybody who helped to make the day such an outstanding success.
