POP-UP-PUB - at Marwood Church Hall
FRIDAY 16th May 2025
Dear friends
We really hope you have all been enjoying the beautiful spring sunshine. If you haven't seen them, the Magnolias at Marwood Gardens have been absolutely stunning this year.
We just wanted to let you know that with our normal pub night coinciding with the Easter weekend this year, we are going to be taking a break in April.
However, we definitely aim to be back on Friday 16th May and, hopefully, with summer coming and if the weather is good, we will be returning to Marwood Hill Gardens. We will share more details at the beginning of May.
As a bit of an update, from that last two pub nights, we are pleased to report that we have been able to make donations of £140 to the local charity 'Ask for Jake' from the February Quiz and a further £160 towards the 'Red Nose Day' appeal which was the profit we made in March.
All the team would like to extend their sincere thanks to you all for your ongoing support and wish you all a very happy Easter period whatever you are up to.
Kind regards.
Marwood Pop Up Pub Team
