Bruntingthorpe Charity Fun Day

09/09/2022

Following the deeply sad news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we have made the difficult decision to cancel our Bruntingthorpe Family Fun Day tomorrow (Saturday, 10 September) and we are now exploring potential dates in 2023.

We were looking forward to welcoming you to our Bruntingthorpe site for a day of fun and to raise money for some fantastic charities, but out of respect we feel the right thing to do is to postpone our event.

We are now working with Eventbrite, our ticket provider to process full refunds as soon as possible. If you have any questions about your refund, please contact us via [email protected].

If you were planning to attend the event, we hope you’ll still be able to join us on the new date so please do keep an eye on our page for more details coming soon.

Thank you in advance for your understanding,

Bruntingthorpe event team
