We are looking forward to welcoming lots of our supporters to a special drinks reception on Thursday 8 May at the historic Tallow Chandlers Hall in London.

It will be a chance for hear from Batemans trustee and award-winning conservation architect Paul Crosby, who travelled 18,000 miles by motorbike from our hostel in south India to his home in Cumbria.

Paul has already delivered three sold-out talks in his home town of Kendal. Now he’s heading south!

Book your tickets here. And find out more here.

Another event that’s approaching fast is our annual plant and cake sale in the wonderfully restored gardens of St John’s Church in Chelmsford, Essex on the morning of Saturday 3 May. We hope to see some of our loyal Essex supporters there.
