Charities
The delicious takeaway teas at Stody Lodge Gardens are well-known. There is something for everyone – from light and fluffy Victoria sponge to indulgent chocolate cake and gluten free options too. For each gardens open day, Stody offers a local charity or organisation the chance to provide these good quality teas, from which they take all the proceeds.
This year, the homemade teas will be provided by Tapping House, Thornage Hall, The Holt Youth Project, About with Friends, Leeway Support, Hospice Ethiopia, Priscilla Bacon Hospice, Heritage House, Hunworth Church & Village Hall and Norfolk & Waveney MIND. The gardens will open in aid of The National Garden Scheme on Tuesday 14th May 2024. We are delighted to welcome new charities to the garden tea rooms this year: Norwich NSPCC, Riding for the Disabled, Blakeney School PTA, and the local churches of St Mary Burgh Parva and All Saints Briston, as well as St Maurice Briningham and St Andrew’s Brinton.
In May 2023, £15,336 was raised across selected charities fundraising in the Stody tea rooms. This is a fantastic result for these very worthwhile local causes and would not be possible without the hard work and dedication of their volunteers and army of bakers. Congratulations to all involved.
If you would like your charity to be considered to fundraise at one of our open days, please contact enquiries@stodyestate.co.uk or 01263 860572.
