Family Fete raising funds for local disability charity

This August will see The Wingate Centre host the 10th Teddy Bears Picnic. Cholmondeley Castle provides the stunning backdrop with the fete itself located in the beautiful castle gardens.

It promises to be a day packed with lots of fun and smiles; including a Teddy Bear Hunt, Name the Teddy, Art & Crafts, Stalls, Teddy Tombola, Lucky Dip, Hook a Duck, Face Painting, Bouncy, Balloon Animals and much more. 

If that wasn’t enough, the sports coaches from the centre will be providing fun activities throughout the day from soft archery and basketball to parachute games and an obstacle course.

There will be a children’s story time, classical buskers and of course The Teddy Bears Picnic.  You can bring your own picnic or pre order from the onsite café.

Advance tickets to the fete are available through Eventbrite.co.uk, offering a 25% discount on gate prices.

Proceeds from the fete will go to The Wingate Special Children’s Trust, based at The Wingate Centre in Wrenbury.  The Centre provides recreational activities and residential breaks for children and young adults with disabilities.

Rhiannon Vine, Marketing Officer at The Centre said,  “We are very excited to be holding this event after a break of over two years.  The Centre has remained open during the second and third lockdowns to provide vital respite for our most vulnerable clients.  The Family Fete will provide much needed funds as well as a coming together in celebration of friendship and inclusion. 

We hope to see you there…………………..don’t’ forget to bring your teddy”.
