Sunflower Memory Café outing to Longacres Bybrook Barn

Sunflower Memory Café - first of many outings.

Posted on Thursday, July 7, 2022

On Monday 27 June, we were delighted to undertake the first of what we hope to be regular outings with our Sunflower Memory Café clients and carers and visited Longacres Bybrook Barn Garden Centre by coach from New Romney.

Our merry band – which included Hub volunteers – arrived in good time to Bybrook Barn, which most welcoming and offered many stalls and concessions for all to visit and enjoy. Many purchases of plants were made, and much appreciated refreshments were taken at the lovely cheerful on-site café!

The outing - which has made for many happy memories - had been funded by generous donations given to the Hub in memory of Mrs Evelyn Kane, of New Romney, by her family and friends. This was much appreciated by all who attended.
We hope to have more such visits and are actively seeking ideas for future trips!
