May 2025
Here is a round-up of the events at The Swan during May, 2025.
3rd May: Sponsored Walk and Run
he Bank Holiday weekend got off to a great start on Saturday with Mirella and Grant's Fundraising Walk/Run. A small but perfectly formed group ran 10K and another walked 5K, raising £150 for the Friends of The Swan Frontage Renovation Project. Thanks to all that turned out – your enthusiasm and generosity is very much appreciated!



4th May: VE Day 80 Celebrations
What a fabulous VE Day 80 celebration we had last Sunday! From opening at noon our special Lyons Corner House-style café was packed, with our 'Nippy' waitresses really having to nip about to keep up with preparing and serving our great 1940s menu! The SPAM sandwiches and Welsh Rarebit went down particularly well, together with the array of amazing homemade cakes and scones!





Our fine waitresses with a wee glimpse behind the scenes ... well, maybe we shouldn't show that last one!



The Coach House was decked out as a small cinema showing classic war movies such as Casablanca and the Dam Busters.




The Volunteer team were so busy that they really never stopped, nor got time to take many photos. Do you have some to share? Thanks in advance.

Although our news page has all the newsletters, we thought it might be easier to access this month's ones from here.
