The Friends’ events diary is short by design. We run six annual gatherings, most of which raise modest sums and all of which are run by the same handful of volunteers. They are also, quietly, where most of our long-standing donors first found us. You are very welcome at any of them.
Six gentle miles around the iron-age ramparts, two stiles, a flask at the war memorial, and a small picnic at the visitor centre. Marshalled by Rotary Club of Yeovil. £8 entry; under-16s free.
The biggest fundraiser in the calendar. Cake stall, bric-a-brac, second-hand books, a small brass band, the bottle tombola, and the annual tug-of-war between the trolley team and the shop till. Free entry; £2 parking.
Our fifty-eighth birthday — a three-course supper, a short address from the chair, the announcement of the 2026/27 appeal, and a small raffle. £42 per head; £36 for members.
Annette’s annual coffee morning. Cakes, raffle, a small bring-and-buy. Last year’s raised £1,840 and finished with twenty-six unclaimed slices. Free entry; donations welcome.
Co-hosted with St Margaret’s Hospice Care. A short candlelit service of remembrance, followed by a candle walk to the hospital concourse for hot drinks. Free; donations to both charities welcome.
A small tea for current and prospective volunteers. The chair, the volunteer coordinator and the kitchen manager will be present. Cakes by Helen. Strictly RSVP for catering.
Write to the partnerships team and we will send a gazebo, a banner, and a volunteer who can talk for two hours about radios.
