strawberries will be plump and the cream from Chettle’s very own dairy will have
been beaten into submission! We’re very excited! There are a few silly new
additions to our extensive list of attractions so be prepared… You might have
noticed too Chettle’s gawn Ciderspace! We hope you find our new website useful
when you’re face down in a field after too much of Rolly’s homebrew… Last year
we raised over £6,000 which went to a selection of very worthy causes: Dorset &
Somerset Air Ambulance, Weldmar Hospice and the Dandelion Trust. This year
profits go to Marie Curie Trust, once again to Dorset & Somerset Air Ambulance
and Diverse Abilities Plus which provides better opportunities and fun
activities for children with physical and learning disabilities.
