A leading charity in the region has partnered with a top-quality event destination to create a partnership that incorporates fun and fundraising.
A Christmas party night at The Manor Rooms on The Drewton Estate near South Cave will announce its partnership with the Daisy Appeal.
Peter Sarsfield, who won “Stars in their Eyes”, will perform a live tribute to Frankie Valli at “The Fourth Season” on Saturday 3 December.
In addition to banners and collection pots located in the farm shop, the event will showcase the Daisy Appeal’s work.
A variety of activities such as afternoon teas, summer barbecue discos, and themed balls will be included in the venue’s events programme from 2023, increasing the charity’s profile and raising funds.
Managing Director of The Manor Rooms, Carl Richardson, said:
“We became aware of the fantastic work which the Daisy Appeal does to support people across the region by raising funds to improve research into cancer, heart disease and dementia.
“We felt we could help by connecting the charity to the people who come here, and we decided to start with our fantastic Frankie Valli tribute by Peter Sarsfield, who won Stars in their Eyes in 2015 and will be delivering a spectacular show featuring some of the greatest hits of a genuine all-time great”.
During a stay at the Drewton Estate, Daisy Appeal’s corporate profile manager Mike Igoe created the new partnership.
He said: “It’s an outstanding property and I was particularly interested in The Manor Rooms – purpose-built function space with great food and fabulous views which all adds up to a perfect venue.
“The partnership will enable us to work together for the benefit of the charity and the business. We will assist with promoting the events and with raising awareness of the rest of the facilities at the site.
“The team at The Manor Rooms will support our fundraising activities with the events and that in turn will raise the Daisy Appeal’s profile among the people who organise and attend the events and among the staff here.”
In 2019, Drewton’s opened The Manor Rooms as a new-build addition to its award-winning farm shop, tea room, and restaurant.
Carl said: “Obviously we were knocked during our first year because of Covid, but we adapted with Zoom and with special wedding packages and we are back on track and thriving now. This year has been our first full wedding season with 55 bookings, and Christmas bookings are well ahead of last year.
“We are drawing up our programme of public ticketed events for 2023 and have agreed to donate a percentage of the ticket profits to the Daisy Appeal, for specific events. People can keep up to date with our events programme through our website and can also book online.”
Claire Levy, Fundraiser for the Daisy Appeal, said: “Drewton’s Farm Shop and The Manor Rooms are renowned for the quality of food, service and events and we are so grateful for their support.
“We look forward to helping them raise the profile of their fantastic facilities and working with them to make their events even more successful and to benefit the Daisy Appeal as we go.”
There are still a few tickets available for the event, which includes a sparkling fizz reception and two-course dinner, and is the last opportunity for revelers to experience live music at The Manor Rooms this year, since both the Michael Buble and Tina Turner tributes have been sold out.
