Over the weekend, we hosted two fun events; Christmas Cracker Gift Box making as well as two of our three Christmas Wreath Making sessions. Both of the sold out events saw Members creating unique and festive accessories, which they took home with them to enjoy.
"It was fantastic to see so many of you over the weekend, pursuing the stalls, picking up those special Christmas gifts and enjoying mulled wine and Christmas carols. We’re delighted at the Goodwood Bakery’s huge success, selling out on both days, and pleased to see so many purchasing wines from our Kennels Wine Club, our very own chutneys and marmalades, as well as our lovely Kennels Christmas Stockings.
The festive atmosphere was topped off with two lovely performances by the Arun Choral Society and the very sunny, slightly chilly weather.
What a brilliant way to begin the festive season at The Kennels."
