The Grand Barn Dance 2026

George Ford is raising money for Wallace & Gromit's Grand Appeal

Barn Dance · 5 September 2026

The Grand Appeal & Cots for Tots help transform the lives of sick babies and children from Bristol and across the South West. Help provide pioneering medical equipment, family accommodation and arts, music and play facilities supporting babies, children and their families when they need it most.

Story

We're holding our third 'Grand Barn Dance' on the farm this year to raise money for the Grand Appeal who supports Bristol Children's Hospital; a charity very close to our hearts.

Maggies Story

Our daughter Maggie, born in 2018, faced a terrifying battle. She was born with a rare cardiac condition called a Double Aortic Arch, which essentially meant she was being strangled by her own blood vessels; threatening her life. We spent 5 weeks in hospital with her, thinking we were going to loose her on more than one occasion. Those were anxious weeks, but after a couple of major operations and thanks to the incredible work of Bristol Children's Hospital and Great Ormand Street Hospital, Maggie's now a thriving, healthy seven-year-old, with no ongoing issues.

This is our chance to give back to the team that gave us so much. We have raised over £10k for The Grand Appeal from our last two Barn Dances, let's make this even bigger! Join us and help raise money for a cause that truly matters.
