Doddington Dairy very kindly supplied us with our cheese table on Saturday night! It was very very popular given the amount of cheese everyone managed to get through!

It's no wonder that today they have been awarded a Bronze (Admiral Collingwood), Silver (Berwick Edge) AND Gold Award (Doddington) for their cheeses at the World Cheese Awards!

These awards had 4,434 cheeses entered from 43 countries around the world and are all judged in one day by experts from 38 nations.

Now we know why it was so popular!!

If you haven't tasted it for yourself, head over to www.doddingtondairy.co.uk to find out where you can get your hands on some! 🧀

A huge thank you to each and every one of you that supported the Mind Your Head Ball on Saturday night. It was an incredible night and we have raised an outstanding amount of money for an invaluable charity. 💛

I can't thank all our suppliers enough for creating such an amazing evening. kooked.north food was fantastic followed by Cheesecake my day for pudding which was delicious!

Becca and Lizzie were excellent hosts! 👢👠 Paul Skerritt Music kept us entertained during dinner which ended with full participation from everyone!! 💃🕺 David Diamond of Corporate Illusion Ltd blew our minds with some incredible magic. 🪄John Young of Logi Firewalking gave us all food for thought after telling of his own mental health journey, as well as testing the mental strength of some willing participants!! 🏹 The rodeo bull also proved very popular!!! 😂

To top it off, the evening was captured by the insanely talented Somerville Captures - ball spam incoming... 📸

Thank you so much to all our sponsors and donators too. The event would not have been possible without your support which allowed us to raise a phenomenal amount of money. Final figure yet to come, but we are so close to reaching £10,000!!!

If anyone wasn't able to attend, or would like to help us reach £10k, then we have a Just Giving page for any last minute donations. 🙏🏻 https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mindyour-headball?utm_term=nmzpe9vxN

The icing on the cake is knowing how many people left the ball having shared their own struggles, or had made a promise to themselves to check in with someone they think might be struggling. This is what it was all about. TALKING IS GOOD! 💛

Doxford Barns is the barn that breaks the mould. Nestled within a private 550-acre country estate, along the Northumberland coast near Alnwick, the 18th century barn-conversion is full of charm and rustic character.

Charlton Hall Estate is the house that plays with the rules. Tucked away on its own private estate, the 18th century stately home has been modernised by introducing bold interiors to compliment the hall's stunning traditional features. You've got to see it to believe it.

The exciting news is that The Doxford Group will be opening its new hotel, the Tempus, in early 2023! Someone from the ball might just be walking away with an overnight stay...
