You are invited to join us to celebrate Farleigh's 40th birthday.
On Saturday 17th September, we will be opening the gardens of Farleigh Hospice from 12-4 pm for a special garden fete and heritage display, marking four decades of Farleigh providing hospice care across mid-Essex.
There will be plenty to enjoy - including live music, food, refreshments, a bar and a variety of exciting stalls - as well as fun for the family with a petting zoo, garden games and face painting.
To mark the special occasion, we will be burying a time capsule, filled with 40th birthday keepsakes including the winning entries from our children's artwork competition.
We will also be unveiling our new summer house which is being built in August. It will give our staff, patients and their families the perfect, peaceful place to relax and unwind with views of our beautiful gardens.
Thank you to the following companies who have generously donated money and resources to buy, build and furnish our new summer house. Asda Foundation, B&Q Foundation, Barratt and David Wilson Homes and Triland Metals Ltd.
It promises to be a great afternoon and we really hope you can join us.
Please note, there will be no onsite parking on the day, however, parking will be available at Chelmer Valley High School and in the surrounding area.
Our heritage
From the death of Audrey Appleton in 1981 which led to the creation of Farleigh Hospice, all the way through to our Hospice UK Awards for outstanding home-based care in November 2021, our heritage display provides an insight into all the people, milestones and memories that have shaped Farleigh into the hospice it is today.
