The Friends of Queens Park are holding their annual Picnic in the Park community event, this Sunday, June 29.
The event is free with live music, some planned activities, food (charged for), and Ann Ewings legendary raffle.
If you’ve been to Picnic In The Park, you’ll know about the raffle, and if you know about the raffle, you’ll know about Ann whose special skill is in procuring valuable prizes for the raffle.
Her weapons are determination, attention to detail, and more front than Marine Parade. She also takes care to properly acknowledge every kind donor with a hand written letter, an old-school touch which keeps them giving. That is why the prize pool for the 2014 Picnic in The Park Raffle is already overflowing with goodies, with many of the finest restaurants in Brighton contributing full meals for two.
Here’s just a tiny sample of the goodies on offer:
• A Royal Box, for two, champagne included, at Brighton’s Theatre Royal
• One night for two at the Hilton Metropole, breakfast included
• Family ticket for Drusilla’s Zoo
• Carriage for six on the Brighton wheel
Ann said: “It’s a great gamble at a great price”.
“For one pound, you get a strip of tickets – five chances – with every ticket folded up and added to the raffle.”
” You’d be nuts not to buy a ticket, so fill your boots and try your luck.”
