Safari Supper 2025

Occurring
for 5 hours, 29 mins
Venue
This event takes place at various locations around the village.
Address
This event takes place at various locations around the village.

The Safari Supper will be on Saturday 1 Mar, please let me know as soon as possible if you want to join in, I need to work out numbers of hosts and participants.
For newcomers to the village this is one of the major fund raisers for our church. You don’t have to be a church goer! It is a fun evening spent visiting different homes, people visiting your home to enjoy a different course at each house. Then everyone meeting up for coffee and Port at a final location! The perfect way to cheer up a winters evening.
You can choose which course you’d like to provide, and for courses at other locations you buy a ticket. I find it easier to organise if everyone volunteers for a course, but you don’t have to. Get in early with your preference, then you’ll have a better chance of providing that course.
Get in early to choose your hosting preference: Starter, Main or Dessert! Or it is possible to host more than one course.
The prices will be the same as last year, so you pay for courses that you do not provide.
Starter £7
Main £16
Dessert £7

Everyone also pays £3 for coffee and Port,
Thanks to those who have replied already.
