What a day at MilliFest!
Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday and helped make our first MilliFest at the Milbourne Arms such a great community event.
A big thank you to all the brilliant bands who performed: Duo Paul & Steve, Ricky Clark, The Pretty Weeds, and to ''STATION'' Entertainments for keeping the music and sound running smoothly throughout the day.
Thank you to The Friends of Holywell Dene, along with all the local stalls and businesses who joined us: Amysprettybeads, JBN Sparkling Beverage, Dcgiftsbishopauckland, and Charity Crafts.
And of course, a huge thank you to our staff. It was a busy day, and the team worked hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly from start to finish.
We should probably thank the weather too. Thunderstorms had been forecast all week, but somehow we even managed to get some sunshine!
It was great to get involved with the local community for the first time. The day also gave us plenty of ideas for future events and social gatherings, so this definitely wonβt be the last.
Congratulations to all our raffle and tombola winners. If you havenβt collected your prize yet, please send us a message. 1st place 876-880, 2nd place 146-150, 3rd place 641-645.
Thank you again from everyone at the Milbourne Arms. β€οΈ
