Story

We're holding our second 'Grand Barn Dance' on the farm this year to mark 5 years since our last one. We are raising money for the grand appeal who supports Bristol Children's Hospital; a charity very close to our hearts.

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 six-year-old, with no ongoing issues.

This is our chance to give back to the team that gave us so much. Five years ago, our first event raised an astonishing £7,666 for The Grand Appeal. Let's make this one even bigger! Join us and help raise money for a cause that truly matters.
