The
annual Party for Perennial, which will take place on Thursday 18 January 2018,
is a popular fixture in the New Year calendar for the horticulture trade and an
event not to be missed.
This
time it will have a more informal feel, with tickets costing just £25, but
still promises plenty of fun and chance for networking.
Launching
Perennial’s annual HortAid fundraising campaign, the evening is a great
opportunity to come together with colleagues and friends while raising money
for the only charity dedicated to helping everyone across the industry in times
of need. It takes place in the Flamingo Room at O’Neills in London’s West End
and tickets include a glass of bubbly on arrival, as well as delicious food and
live music until late.
There
is an exciting line up of raffle prizes to be won, including lunch and a
private garden tour at Rosemary Verey’s garden at Barnsley House; a spa day at
the Spread Eagle Hotel in Midhurst; and a package that includes lunch at the
Ivy Soho Brasserie and two West End theatre tickets.
Anita
Bates, Perennial’s Director of Marketing and Development comments: “The Party
for Perennial offers a chance to get together for a fun night during a slower
time in the horticultural season, but it is also an important event for
Perennial in terms of fundraising.
"Following
feedback from previous events, we have decided to make it slightly more
informal, with a lower ticket price and more of a focus on allowing people to
catch up with friends. We will soon be announcing details of a black tie event
later in the year, for those who enjoy more formal occasions. Don’t miss out on
joining us and your colleagues from across the trade for what promises to be an
excellent evening.”
All money raised
through ticket sales and the raffle will help support all UK horticulturists
and their families, who come to Perennial for help. As the only charity
that helps individuals working in and retired from all sectors of the
horticulture industry, Perennial is a lifeline for people that have nowhere
else to turn.
