Please see the poster for all the details…
Sue Wetherall and Emily Estelle first started Picnic at the Petite Prom in 2017, after Isabel Hospice had cared for their husband/father John Wetherall, and they wanted to raise much needed funds for the Hospice as a way of saying thank you. Sue has been involved with the Hospice for many years and always supported the charity.
The event proved to be very successful and after the sad lose of John, Sue and Emily went on to organise another in concert 2021, which once again proved to be a huge success. To date they have raised over £34,000. So here they are, two years later and due to popular demand organising another event!
Set under the stars in a picturesque Hadham garden come and join them for a magical evening of live music and song of well-known Movie music – all in aid of Isabel Hospice. Bring a picnic and chair and sit back and enjoy performances from professional artists performing songs the likes of James Bond, Westside Story, Back to Africa, Grease and many more!
