The 4 Kingdoms Adventure farm are hosting Royal British Legion Charity Event on
10th and 11th June. They are looking for various groups to support them in creating an unforgettable experience for the 1000 service personnel and their families who will be attending. Traction and steam engines at the event would be a fantastic addition, and they were hoping TVTEC members could help them in providing some exhibits.
Th goal is to provide veterans with opportunities for connection, support, and advice, and the TVTEC’s participation would make a significant contribution to the success of the event.
As a token of appreciation, all volunteers will receive free entry to 4 Kingdoms Adventure Farm and will be provided with refreshments, food, and drinks throughout the day. If you’d like to bring your family for a visit, just let 4 kingdoms know, and they’ll be happy to arrange tickets for you. If anyone requires any support, 4 Kingdoms would be more than happy to assist you with fuel for your vehicles.
$ Kingdoms have a fantastic line up of groups supporting us this year, including the 501st Stormtroopers, the RAF Battle of Britain display team, The Wolves of Midgard Vikings, RBL Bikers, RBL Drummers, and local Cubs and Scouts groups.
If anyone would like to attend then please contact Ashleigh Crouch by email: events@4-kingdoms.co.uk or by Phone: 01635 269678
