BUZZING ABOUT THE HONEYBUNS BEE HOP

HONEYBUNS Open Day and party at Naish farm, Stony Lane, Holwell, literally raised the roof with high spirits, live entertainment, local crafts and locally produced food showing the best that Dorset has on offer.

The open day and party was raising funds for the Raise the Roof appeal for the Holwell Church Restoration fund for which money is still urgently needed to complete the project. Four years after the church was forced to close with mammoth structural problems, parishioners now feel there is light at the end of the tunnel with their beloved church at least waterproof once more and the roof tiles due to be replaced shortly.
