Welcome all to the May/June edition of The Bradgate Magazine!

With summer soon to be upon us (officially June 1st) longer days definitely means that getting out and about is a must and we’re delighted to bring you news of events, occasions and some absolute definites to mark your diaries with.

Take June 11th as a starter for 10 thanks to Loughborough based charity Alex’s Wish who host a fundraising Family Fun and Supercars Day - think Lamborghinis and Aston Martins, a beer tent, cocktails, stone-fired wood pizzas and ice cream (and a load more to boot) and you won’t go far wrong - all set in the beautiful grounds of Whatton House. Lovely!

T’is the season too for Open Gardens – Thurcaston & Cropston Gardening Club are ever present with their local provisions (June 24th-25th), whilst The National Garden Scheme is offering up a fab 20 gardens to visit, across an array of dates and locations, from Hedgehog Hall, Tilton on the Hill to Mountain Ash in Newtown Linford (and everything conceivable in between). With fundraising efforts concentrated on The Air Ambulance Service and a raft of nursing and cancer charities respectively what’s not to like.

...and to conclude my ditty for this edition...for those that enjoy their talks the hot (May 19th) ticket in town is for an evening with Graham Short - the celebrated micro-artist is famous for such mind boggling feats as engraving the words ‘Nothing is Impossible’ along the cutting edge of a traditional razor blade!! Raising funds for Rainbows Childrens Hospice this charismatic talk, littered with tales about the celebrities Graham has met and worked with, will enthral all.

For now however, pop the kettle on and do enjoy the read!
