Come and join us for our annual Easter Craft sale, in the Rose Garden Cafe between 10am - 3pm on March 28th.

Not only will we have the usual amazing craft gifts donated by our wonderful volunteers along with local supermarkets, meaning you can stock up for your loved ones - but this year we will also have the Magician Benoit Pierre BenZ doing table magic in the cafe on the day AND we will have our Rose Garden IPA (brewed by the wonderful Little Mesters Brewery) on sale.

Its going to be a cracking (get the joke!?) day - so please head over to the cafe and support us. We're edging ever closer to our current goal of £37,500 with your amazing and generous support!

See you there!

Thanks to everyone who came along to the brilliant evening at the Cafe on Friday 13th March 2026.

After costs we raised an outstanding £1480 from the evening, including ticket sales, raffle and drinks. This money have now been transferred to the FOGP Just Giving account and you can see our total community fundraising amount at the following link:

Come and join us for an unmissable performance at Rose Garden Cafe from 7-piece jazz and blues ensemble Dora and the Explorers.

Your toes will be tapping as you sit at a table with friends eating, drinking and listening to this wonderful live music.

This amazing evening with Dora and the Explorers will be a relaxed and entertaining experience with two sets all in aid of the restoration and refurbishment of the Cafe.

Tickets include a selection of Duke's delicious homemade pie and peas delivered to your table.

Tickets cost £20 per person and are listed by pie choice so that we know ahead of schedule what to cook!

The venue will open at 6.45pm and the first performance will start about 7pm.

Drinks will be on sale at the venue, including soft drinks and alcoholic choices.

So why not grab your friends, have fun and feel great about helping to support the continued efforts to make sure the cafe remains an improved community asset for the next 100 years!

We have a maximum 100 tickets available for the night - please do not bring additional people with you unless they have a ticket. Children of the age 12+ are welcome (must have a ticket)!

This event is being sponsored by Dukes in the Park who are kindly donating their time, all the food at cost and opening up the venue for us on the evening. Dora and the Explorers are donating their time and talent.

If you have any questions please contact rosegardencafeappeal@gmail.com or phone us on 07395 023887.

We now know the renovation costs and whilst we don't expect to raise all the required funds through fundraising, every little we raise goes directly towards the refurbishment and helps in further funding bids.

We are really excited to announce the launch of the Rose Garden IPA!
