You are invited to a Teddy Bear Picnic at Ragley Hall Gardens
Teddy bears are set to take over the beautiful Ragley Hall Gardens for a Teddy Bear Picnic with proceeds going to the new birthing unit at Warwick Hospital.
Event details:
Teddy Bear Picnic
11:30 – 4pm, Friday 1 September 2017
Ragley Hall Gardens, B49 5NJ
The event will feature lots of activities to keep the whole family entertained; including readings of the Tales of Shakespuss by author Melissa Mailer-Yates or young bears with energy to burn can play on the adventure playground. There is also a best dressed teddy bear competition, games, a rhythm time session and more.
Tickets are priced at £10 for adults and £2 per child over 5 years old with under 5s getting in free. Tickets are limited so to avoid disappointment please buy tickets in advance:
The event is being organised by the Birth and Babies Appeal which aims to raise £200,000 to help make the birthing unit the best it can be. South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust will be funding the build but NHS funds only go as far as functional materials and equipment. This additional money will be invested into special enhancements that will make the facility fabulous for women and their families. Fundraising will enable the Trust to buy enhanced equipment like special baby cribs and stands, rather than standard plastic cots, as well as upgrade the furnishings to make the unit feel like a home-from-home.
Any support you can offer to the Birth and Babies appeal will be greatly appreciated. For more information or to discuss any fundraising ideas please contact the Fundraising Department on 01926 495321 ext 8049 or email charity@swft.nhs.uk
