Garden Open Raises £21,000

We are delighted to announce that the Garden Open at Hatch House has raised in excess of £21,000 for Salisbury Hospice Charity, the highest total to date!
The event was held over two days this year, on Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of September. It is an annual event hosted by Sir Henry and Lady Holly Rumbold and organised by our amazing Tisbury Fundraising Committee.
There was something for everyone at Hatch House with many stalls including; vintage and designer clothes, bric-a-brac, tea and cakes, organic produce, local honey, children’s toys, jumble and books. The gardens delighted visitors previewing stunning autumn colours. The wonderful weather ensured guests could make the most of the outdoors and were able to sit with a refreshment and enjoy the idyllic scenery that surrounds the house.
Leftover items from the stalls were donated to refugees fleeing the conflict in Afghanistan, Save the Children and Alabaré, a local charity that supports the homeless.

A huge thank you to Sir Henry Rumbold and Lady Holly Rumbold for the use of Hatch House. Lady Holly and Elspeth Vernon plus their team of industrious helpers for their many hours of organising all the clothes for sale, Tamsin Lee and the Tisbury committee for their incredible hard work organising and running the event and all our hospice volunteers who helped across the weekend.
We are so thankful for this incredible total that will fund our vital hospice services, ensuring the service remains free to our patients and their families.
Tamsin our community fundraiser, who supported the event had the following to say:
