Feast of Dorset helps Julias House Childrens Hospice
March 2010
The award winning Feast of Dorset family food festival will raffle a hand made gingerbread house in aid of the local children’s hospice.
Feast of Dorset takes place at Deans Court, Wimborne on 18-19th September 2010. Last year it won the Independent Magazine’s Best UK Food Festival award. Under 14′s go free and there are generous concessions. Camping is available on Saturday night. The website is at www.feastofdorset.co.uk
The ginger bread house is being made by Sandie Sales of Blandford. She says: “This is a fantastic cause and will hopefully raise lots of money for Julia’s House. I use the best ingredients and the ginger bread house will be decorated with icing, hand made flowers and other decorations. It will be really pretty and taste wonderful!”
Kate Graeme-Cook of Feast of Dorset says: “This is a lovely way of helping our local children’s hospice. What could be more appropriate – a ginger bread house!” The winning ticket will be drawn at 4pm on Sunday 19th September. Julia’s House is based near Poole and is at www.juliashouse.org
The festival includes a celebrity cookery theatre, Hangi New Zealand fire pit roast, bee displays, 50 food producers, restaurant marquees, a book launch by Rose Prince, walks around the vegetable and herb gardens, bread making demonstrations and live music in 14 acres of enchanted gardens.
