For anyone who wants a great day out that doesn’t break the bank, but does force you to crack open a smile, this is the day for you! Raffle prizes for example have an amazing combined prize value of more than a thousand pounds this year thanks to generous local businesses and families.
The selection of eleven different prizes in the raffle includes a weekend at the award winning, luxury Heath Farm Cottages; a meal for two including wine at the Good Food Guide listed pub, the Duck on the Pond; a £50 voucher for the Quince & Clover café in Great Tew and for keen gardeners the chance to win a bulk bag of well-rotted manure! There really is something for everyone.
The full list of raffle prizes is below and the organisers can guarantee that there is a million times more chance at winning in this draw than in the national lottery!* In addition there’s also a special raffle just to win a pair of Dubarry Boots. Tickets must be bought at the show, so do come along and try your hand at winning.
