Glamorous Garden Party & Secret Garden Sale

The fabulous patrons of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Laurence and Jackie Llewelyn-Bowen, kindly welcomed supporters of the charity to their Glamorous Garden Party at their home in Siddington, Gloucestershire on Friday 5th July.

This event was well attended on what proved to be beautiful balmy summer's evening. Celebration gin cocktails, kindly sponsored by Whitley Neill and Bottle Green, were served in vintage china teacups kindly supplied by Lavinia's Tea Party. A delicious selection of scrumptious canapes were provided by Le Beaujolais Restaurant. Thanks to generous sponsorship, the raffle proved to be a great success with a fantastic array of prizes ranging from a £250 Moloh Clothing voucher to an hours tattoo time with BeOutspoken, designed by Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen himself! The bring and buy plant sale was well supported too with a glorious selection of botanical delights. Musicians entertained guests at the party; talented young guitarist and singer Skinny River set the scene with his acoustic renditions; pagan gothic rock band Inkubus Sukkubus led by Cotswold Life's funky deputy editor Candia McCormack, played a selection of their lighter original fairy festival music. This was followed by a delightful original performance by the young Hermione Llewelyn-Bowen (Little Bo) playing some of her original compositions and popular covers, supported by Emma Fuchs.

 Dr Dawn Harper and David Miller gave thought provoking speeches.

 

The Secret Garden Sale on Saturday had a good selection of stylish stalls in glorious surroundings. Unfortunately, due to the extreme hot weather there were not as many attendees as expected but a delightful time was had by all.  

£2,574.67 was raised for Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

In addition Mike Naylor, president of the Severn Vale Rotary Club, handed over a further cheque of £1,000 to the charity. He has been a staunch supporter of Cotswold Breakthrough Breast Cancer since his wife Jacky was touched by this hideous disease and which sadly took the life of her daughter recently.

♥ Huge thanks to all our generous supporters. ♥
