Fund-raising from across the Island
Christmas
at Barton
Manor
By Karen Eeles
We are very grateful to the owners of
Barton Manor for allowing us to come
to their gardens and barns to celebrate
an early Christmas. The estate is
privately owned and the grounds are
only opened for charity four times
a year. This will be our second event
this year, we manage to fill the day
full of Christmas cheer from roasted
chestnuts to mulled wine on arrival. We
have a fabulous array of craft, food and
produce stalls, live music and dancing.
Windmill carriages bring along their
beautiful pair of Friesian horses who
will pull a carriage around the estate.
Ventnor theatre group will be
performing pieces from their
pantom
