Surely we can expect spring to have arrived by 9th April 2018, when Dawn Ledgard will be holding another of her very popular Clothes Sales at Hadley Wood. These twice-yearly sales offer ladies of all ages, shapes and sizes a very good value opportunity to buy from an extensive range of beautiful designer clothing, jewellery and accessories. All items are on sale at well below High Street prices and there are attractive special offers on multiple purchases.

As usual, the sale will be held at the Hadley Wood Association Centre (behind the Tennis Club). The venue is about 5 minutes from Hadley Wood station on foot. If you come by car, it is just 5 minutes from junction 24 on the M25 and there is free parking next to the tennis courts. Why not bring a friend and enjoy a coffee while you browse? As past customers know, buying here is much more convenient and less stressful than a trip into the West End. It is also much more enjoyable and reliable than buying online.

Donations of £1 at the door, plus commission on sales, will be given to Cherry Lodge Cancer Care to help fund our valuable services for people affected by cancer.
