ON June 22, just over 100 guests and supporters joined together to raise funds for The St Michael’s Hospice Redevelopment Appeal. Over £6,500 was raised. This stunning event was held in the glorious gardens of Broxwood Court near Leominster, a garden rarely opened to the public.

The weather was kind and a great evening was enjoyed by all. The views of rhododendrons and the lake were spectacular. A2Zest Events provided the most delicious dinner and the whole event was generously supported by Claridge Nursing Homes, A2Zest Events, Andrew Darwin Fine Wines, Impact Print and Design Ltd and Hampton Hire Ltd.

TV presenter and auctioneer Kate Bliss conducted the auction and raised almost £2,500 for St Michael’s. The infamous Master Butcher’s Band provided wonderful music throughout the evening.
