Hatch House hosted its annual Open Garden event in support of Salisbury Hospice Charity on Saturday 31st August, raising more than £25,000 to help fund the hospice’s vital work.
Hosted by Sir Henry and Lady Rumbold and organised by the Tisbury Fundraising Committee, the event offered its usual wide range of delights. Guests browsed marquees brimming with vintage and designer pre-loved clothing, accessories and a special men’s fashion section. The sale also featured antiques, collectables, toys, books and a raffle, with something for everyone to enjoy.
As visitors explored the beautiful gardens, they also indulged in a selection of cakes, teas, local bread, a barbecue from Compton McRae, Pimms, and ice cream.
Reflecting on the day, Lady Rumbold said: ‘What started as a little event with two ladies emptying their wardrobes and selling the contents has grown into a major team effort. The event not only raises crucial funds for Salisbury Hospice but it is also such an uplifting experience which draws the community together.’
