PEOPLE from Somerset can test their general knowledge and help raise money for charity during a quiz night being held at a farm shop in the county this month (July, 2017).
The Charity Quiz & Supper Evening, which is in aid of Headway Somerset in Taunton, will take place at Rumwell Farm Shop’s cafe on Friday, July 27 at 7pm.
Anne Mitchell, Joint Owner of the farm shop, which is located on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, explained: “Our Charity Quiz & Supper Evenings are very popular, and the perfect chance to get together with family members or friends.
“We held a quiz evening for Headway, which is one of our charities of the year, in January and raised £546 for the organisation so we are hoping to match that figure again at our next event.
“You can enter teams of up to eight people to our quiz and the winners will get to take home our Rumwell Cup and also a hamper of goodies each.
“The supper will be served from 7pm with hot food choices followed by a choice of desserts. Also on the night there will be a raffle with a selection of prizes from our shop, our suppliers and friends. All of the money from the raffle will be donated to the charity.”
The supper will cost £14.99 for two courses and the price includes a £1 quiz entry fee for Headway. To book a table, please call 01823 461599 ext 4.
Headway Somerset provides social and cognitive rehabilitation for adults with brain injury and support and respite for their families through its four Brain Injury Centres based in Bridgwater, Henton, Yeovil & Taunton.
Deborah Parsons, Community Fundraiser at Headway Somerset, said: “It’s fantastic that Rumwell Farm Shop is hosting another quiz evening in aid of our cause. Its support is greatly appreciated.
“We’ll be there on the night should anyone require any further information about our charity. We hope lots of people get behind the event and join us on the evening.”
Rumwell Farm Shop is an independent, family-run, award-winning business owned by the Mitchell family. It was originally a potato store, when David and Anne Mitchell began selling their potatoes and free-range eggs at the gate.
Due to customer demand, the range of products soon increased, and the farm shop grew into the place it is today. David and Anne’s sons, James and Jack, are now also involved in the business as well as daughter-in-law Sophie.
As well as the Butchery counter, Rumwell Farm Shop also has a delicatessen, bakery, jam kitchen, food hall, wine cellar and gift room.
Home grown potatoes are also still available, when in season, as well as everything from fruit, vegetables and groceries to plants, flowers, gifts and cards.
The Rumwell Cafe can seat approximately 80 people. The food prepared in the cafe kitchen is sourced from the farm shop, the Mitchell family farm and regional suppliers.
Families are welcome and there is a menu especially for children. The cafe also serves afternoon teas, carvery on a Sunday and is licensed to sell alcoholic beverages.
The Charity Quiz & Supper Evening in aid of Headway will take place at Rumwell Farm Shop on Friday, July 27 from 7pm.
