The CRESS Garden Open is being held this year over the weekend of 11^th – 12^th September, each afternoon between 2.00-5.00pm at Knighton Manor, Broad Chalke.

Visitors pay a voluntary contribution to enjoy afternoon tea in the beautiful setting of Knighton Manor, including the opportunity to walk around the cutting flower gardens and the chance to browse various local craft stalls including art, painting, wood crafts, glassware, handmade jewellery, etc.

All donations made will raise valuable funds to support the work that CRESS does to improve the health and wellbeing of the South Sudanese refugees living in northern Uganda.

This year CRESS is specifically looking to raise funds towards the purchase of a 4×4 vehicle, costing ca £20,000, so that CRESS health support workers and fully trained Children’s Accelerated Trauma Training (CATT) counsellors can provide the range of clinical services to refugees living in the different refugee camps across northern Uganda. Without a 4×4 vehicle it is impossible to travel on the uneven and often deeply rutted roads to deliver necessary medicines and supplies to those in need.  For example, CRESS supplies antenatal classes and Mama Kits to improve the birth outcomes for pregnant mothers.

After a cautious but optimistic return to events – we’re pleased to tell you that the Dorset Food & Arts Festival Market-lite is BACK, this Saturday 7th August from 10-4.

Join us at The Great Field, Peverell Avenue, Poundbury.
Shopping in the fresh air – supporting local artisans and producers. Its a winning combination!

The Festival Market is FREE.

Plenty of parking nearby and its on the 10 & 10A bus route.

We shifted the festival location to the nearby Great Field to give us more space to operate safely. But look forward to returning to our natural home in Queen Mother Square next year!

The festival market will look and feel a bit different this year, as we have been advised to scale down, so there won’t be the usual cookery demonstrations or live music programme, but we’re hoping to have some ‘gentle’ busking to give the pop up shopping experience a bit of atmosphere.

Head over to the Dorset Food & Arts Festival -lite Facebook page https://lnkd.in/eZrMcFTg
for more details, including a full list of stallholders.

See you on Saturday. Bring your bags and a brolly…just in case!
