GROSMONT EVENTS

Grosmont Events is an active group of local people organising events for all villagers. Our events will be posted here, but also listed in the news and general events section of the website.

All events will be on the news page.

2023 events:

Sunday 11 June: Grosmont Open Gardens

Saturday 1 July: Grosmont Village Day

Since the most recent AGM on Friday 4th November 2022, the following events have also been held:

Jean Price (Chair)
Margie Barker (Vice Chair)
Richard Brown (Treasurer)
Victoria Barker (Secretary)

We also have five committee members and a list of volunteers.

If you would like to be added to one of the lists then please get in touch with Jean Price (mrsjprice@btopenworld.com) or Victoria Barker (vbarker5@hotmail.com).

Aims & Objectives:  Grosmont Events is a community-based collective focused on organising, through volunteers, social events for the benefit and enjoyment of Grosmont.  An aim will be to make a small surplus each year to cover overhead costs and to build and maintain a modest surplus to support free events, allow small grants to community activities and purchase appropriate equipment to support community events.

Membership:  All residents of Grosmont will be members of Grosmont Events and eligible to attend and participate in all meetings.

A GROSMONT GALLERY OF RECENT EVENTS:

We celebrated both the coronation and our 20th village breakfast on Monday 8th May, and what a fantastic time we had!

It was wonderful to see so many people from the village and the surrounding rural areas.
Thanks to all those who helped make this happen and to the 120 plus people who attended. A great social event.

MAYDAY BREAKFAST 2019

Thanks to everyone who helped to make this such a successful event yet again.

Huge thanks to Ade, Claire and all at Golden Valley Meat and Game for so generously donating the bacon and sausages again this year. Also; Jan Williams for donating eggs, Angel Inn and Angel Kitchen for their help and support and everyone who helped on the day.

We hope that you all enjoyed your breakfast and had time for a chat/catch up.

We served over 100 breakfasts and the event has made a profit of approximately £420 which will be used to fund future events in the village.

DID YOU KNOW?
Next year will be the 20th year that the Mayday Breakfast has been happening in Grosmont. If you have any thoughts on how we could celebrate this then please let us know.

Thanks again everyone for your support.

FUN AT THE BOOTLEGGERS BALL

Party-goers enjoyed teapot cocktails and electro-swing music at Grosmont Events Bootleggers Ball on 23rd March. The evening included a surprise staged police raid. Local gangsters armed with machine guns, fled the scene of a heist, scattering their ill-gotten gains as the cops closed in!

Everyone really got into the swing by dressing in the best roaring 20’s style and who knew that Grosmont had so much rhythm! The prize for best dancer was won by Karen Farr who totally got the spirit of the Charleston.

Thank you to all those who helped with organising the event, decorating the nave, providing the fantastic canape buffet, music, mixing and serving cocktails and generally having a jolly good time.
