Events Programme
Cherry Lodge Cancer Care fundraisers work hard to put on an interesting and varied programme of events. Very successful CL events in the run up to Christmas 2024 included the Cherry Lodge Christmas Fair on 30th November, the Festive Extravaganza at The Landsby on 9th December, and Carol Singing in The Spires by local schoolchildren on Wednesdays 4th and 11th December. Thank you very much indeed to all our fundraisers. Information about exciting new events will be posted early in the New Year.
