ON a sunny day in July we held our Vintage Day Out at Cressing Temple Barns near Braintree. There was live music and dancing, food and drink, classic cars and lots of vintage stalls. As we write this, we are busy preparing for our next vintage event on 25th August at the wonderful Layer Marney Tower. If you didn’t make either of these events, keep your eyes open for details of next year’s vintage events.

What’s happening in September?

A special 15 miles cycle ride will set off from The Crix in Hatfield Peverel on Sunday 15th September. This is to remember Ed Knight, one of the greatest supporters of our annual Ride for Helen cycle event, who sadly passed away in May. You can read Ed’s story here, and sign up for the September cycle ride here.

On Sunday 22 September our rural ramble and trail run will return to Hatfield Place. You can choose from a 1, 4, 6 or 10 miles ramble, or you can do a 4, 6 or 10-miles trail run. At the end, you will return to Hatfield Place for a cream tea with coffee or tea. Click here for details and tickets.

We also have a donation day at our centre in Hatfield Peverel on Saturday 14th September. Drop off your pre-loved items between 9am and 12pm. Items should be in good condition and preferably e-bay saleable. Parking is available.

Our 25th anniversary celebration

The Helen Rollason Cancer Charity is 25 years old this year. To celebrate this we are holding an exquisite evening at the impressive Hatfield Place on Friday 18 October. This will include a welcome reception, dinner plus dancing into the night. Details and tickets can be found on our website. Why not get a group of friends together and book a table?
