So, if you've been reading the very important home page and you have soaked up all the information about Farm Africa then you will know that Paul and Jim are off on a jaunt across the ocean for three months. So, this is obviously going to take some very serious preparation. They will be running. They will be rowing. And they will be throwing a really, really big party. Yes, just because they will be gallivanting on the high seas for a quarter of the year, whilst the rest of us are stuck doing the day job, doesn’t mean they get all the fun. Come and join in the extravaganza we’re holding to help them meet their fund raising target, celebrate their madness and make sure the memory of alcohol and dancing is enough to bring them home! Set in the sumptuous settings of Soughton Hall, the masquerade ball will take place on Halloween on Sat 31st October 2009. Strictly Black Tie, the evening will include a champagne reception, 3 course gourmet feast and live band. And if this in not enough to entice you along-the raffle surely will. |
Don’t forget to make sure you don your gladdest glad rags as some of the region’s foremost lifestyle magazines will be there to the capture images of what will undoubtedly be the social highlight of the North West season. Or they might just end up with a lot of photos of some very drunken dancing. So what are you waiting for? Tickets are priced at a bargainous £65 (remember this includes champagne, food and dancing), £55 each if you buy a set of ten, so make sure you get yours now before they get snapped up!

Information for those not from these parts.
Soughton Hall is about 15 mins West of Chester and is easily accessible from the main A55 trunk road into North Wales. For those driving, it will probably take about 40min from Liverpool, an hour from Manchester and 3 & ½ hours to drive here from either London or Bristol and probably the same from Newcastle/Durham. For those interested in getting the train, Chester station is about 25 min away. There are direct trains here from London Euston (2 hours).
For those needing accommodation we would suggest that you book asap. There is not an infinite amount of accommodation in these parts!
For those wishing to treat themselves, the hotel at Soughton Hall really offers a totally indulgent getaway. There are 15 rooms available- and the hotel is able to offer special rates for guests attending the Fundraising Ball- but this rooms won’t be about for long, so if you do fancy it, get booking!!
There is also a Holiday Inn about 5 mins away from the venue which offers good rates for hotels. This is a link to their website. http://www.holidayinn-chesterwest.co.uk/
Alternatively there are a number of B&B’s in the area within 20min of Soughton Hall. There is a short list of some here.
