Sleaford Hall Easter Fayre

On Saturday, March 30th, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., the doors swung open for the inaugural Easter Fayre, sparking excitement throughout the Sleaford Hall community. With stalls bustling and spirits high, Easter weekend festivities were officially underway.

Children eagerly immersed themselves in a plethora of crafts, from painting wooden Easter decorations to creating colorful window displays and crafting bunny masks and cards. Laughter and creativity filled the air as little hands worked their magic.

Meanwhile, the kitchen team, led by Adam, Stefan, and Leanne, delighted attendees with a delectable spread, serving up steaming cups of tea and coffee alongside mouthwatering hotdogs and beef burgers with onions—a true feast for all.

Generosity overflowed as stall holders, residents, families, team members, and friends of Sleaford Hall came together to generously donate prizes for the raffle. From Dee’s Gifts to Clarks Shoe Shop, Tesco’s to North Road Outreach, and even a kind contribution from a young man named Trevor, the community rallied to support the resident’s fund.

The Easter egg hunt sent children darting across the grounds, eagerly filling their decorated bags with brightly colored eggs. Excitement reached a crescendo as they exchanged their treasures for chocolate-filled surprises and cuddly bunnies, leaving smiles plastered on their faces.

As the raffle commenced, anticipation electrified the atmosphere. The grand prize—a colossal teddy bear—found its way into the arms of a lucky stall holder, who selflessly passed it on to one of our resident’s daughters, much to her delight. With prizes galore, the joy was palpable, and beaming faces abounded.

In the spirit of giving, over £300 was raised for the resident’s fund, promising memorable outings throughout the year. A heartfelt thank you resonated throughout the community, echoing gratitude for the unwavering support.

Gloria reveled in the precious moments spent with her family, savoring the joy of shopping and laughter. Jenny indulged in some much-needed retail therapy alongside her loved ones, relishing the vibrant atmosphere of the stalls.

For Isla Grace and Charlie, the day was an adventure filled with laughter and surprises. Charlie’s mishap during the Easter egg hunt provided comic relief, earning giggles and helping hands from fellow participants.

Even Santa’s elves made a special appearance, spreading magic and cheer as they promised to keep watch over the festivities. With enchanting tricks up their sleeves, they left smiles in their wake, promising a return visit in the future.

For Jo, Mel, Ruth, Beth, and Gracie, the day was nothing short of extraordinary.
