Festive weekend on its way

Well this weekend we are kicking off the half term with a bang Friday 25th October we are holding our Halloween party- This will consist of raffles, Live bands, DJ’s, apple bobbing and much more. All of this is for a good friend of The Watering Hole, Natasha Whiting has dedicated the past few years of her life to the survival of an orphanage on the Thai-Burmese border. She built the home (literally built) with her own money and it now supports the lives of over 45 adorable children. The aim is to provide them with food, shelter and education and to make sure that every penny raised goes directly to them. They all have a story to tell; they are either orphaned or abandoned or have been given into the safe hands of the home. Over the summer there was severe flooding at the shelter and it is almost in ruins, things have become pretty hard…So we wanted to help …. Sunday 27th October– We are lucky enough to have George Ezra supported by Sam Fender playing 2:30pm on-wards, who are two extremely talented up and coming artists who we cannot wait to have with us. Check George Ezra out- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyGSQjyaoDA Check his support act Sam Fender out- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCEgqBkj0Oc
