Teddy bears are preparing to party at the St Giles Hospice Big Birthday Bash.

Staff, children and their favourite bears are putting the finishing touches to exciting plans to celebrate 10 years of the hospice’s hugely successful lottery.

The Big Birthday Bash takes place on Saturday, 2nd June in the glorious formal gardens of Catton Hall, near Alrewas, from 11am until 4pm.

It’s an event packed with fun for all ages – children can bring their favourite furry toys to the teddy bears’ picnic and join in a host of exciting games and competitions, and people of all ages can browse the stalls selling everything from cakes to crafts, and bric-a-brac to books – knowing proceeds are going straight to hospice funds.

The Big Birthday Bash is free and open to all.
