This evening Parish Annual Meeting included an excellent ‘Group and Societies Exhibition’ with very tasty cakes and other refreshments laid on by Catering 4 Parwich. Unfortunately the numbers of people enjoying it were limited.

Horticultural Trips
Posted in Gardens, Out & About, Societies on Thursday May 8, 2014| Leave a Comment »
Yesterday 25 members of the PDHS visited two inspiring gardens near Northwich in Cheshire.
Thank you Glynis for this report:
The morning was spent at Bluebell Cottage Garden, tucked away over a narrow canal bridge in the heart of the countryside which presented the coach driver with his first challenge of the day. The island beds contained many unusual perennials some of which were available to tempt us in the attached nursery.
We then continued just a few miles down the road to Stonyford Cottage Garden and nursery. Here we enjoyed a tasty lunch, whilst the rain came down. Luckily there was a break in the showers and we could explore the beautiful, tranquil garden set around a series of pools. The candelabra primulas were fantastic.
The next trip is on Wednesday 16th July, combines a visit to Winterbourne Gardens in the morning. This is one of the best surviving examples of an Edwardian Arts and Crafts suburban villa, with a beautiful walled garden, colour themed borders, glasshouses, rock garden and stream side planting. We will then go on to the nearby Birmingham Botanic garden for the afternoon, which contains plants from all corners of the world, arranged in glasshouses, herbaceous borders, rockeries etc, there is something for everyone!
The price (includes coach fare and entry to both gardens):
– members £18. (£16 concessions),
– non members £22 ( £20 concessions)
The coach will leave Parwich at 9.15 am, and return at approx 6 pm. To book a place please contact Glynis on 390561, £5 deposit required, full amount payable by 8 July.

A chocolate experience in Castleton on Tuesday?
Posted in Societies on Saturday September 14, 2013| 1 Comment »
On Tuesday (September 17th), a smallish group will be going from Parwich for an hour’s Chocolate Experience in Castleton.
We will watch a demonstration and get to sample some chocolates (which are really delicious!).
It’s rather short notice, but there are now a couple of places available, so please let me know if you’d like to come.
The Chocolate Experience costs £6.25 per person – and the lunch will depend on what you choose.
We are leaving from the green at 9.45am. I can offer two people a lift, if that helps.
For more info, or if you’d like to come, do ring me on 519 .
