This weekend, the Rotary Club of Bedford Castle are holding a grand raffle offering some incredible prizes, with 100% of the money raised from ticket sales going to charity.

Prizes include,

  • £1,000 Center Parcs voucher
  • A four-ball at Woburn Golf Club
  • A luxury Champneys spa day
  • A private day trip with afternoon tea on a river cruiser
  • A case of quality wine
  • A dream Ride in a Car of your choice

Plus many more.

75% of the charity money raised will be directed to the Bedford area to help a number of organisations supporting local people.

In the past, this has included funding residential development courses for young adults through the Rotary Young Leadership Awards (RYLA).

All our candidates for the RYLA so far have been from Bedford College, Bedford Academy, and Bedford Parent Carers Forum.

In recent years, the Rotary Club of Bedford Castle have also supported CHUMS, FACES, Booktastic, Schoolreaders, Bedford Parent Carers Forum and Keech Hospice Care with donations.

The raffle is being run in association with the Kimbolton Country Fayre and Classic Car Show taking place at Kimbolton Castle this Sunday (14 July).

As well as being able to enjoy all the fun of the fayre, visitors can see 1,200 classic cars and enjoy live music, wildlife displays, food and drink, and craft stalls.

Tickets for the Grand Raffle can be bought on the day at the fayre or in advance by contacting the Rotary Club of Bedford Castle here.

Further information about the Country Fayre and Classic Car Show can be found at their website kimboltoncountryfayre.com.
