Cherry Lodge Cancer Care fundraisers work hard to put on an interesting and varied programme of events. The Cherry Lodge Christmas Fair at Wesley Hall on Saturday 30th November 2024 was very much enjoyed. Local schoolchildren are carol singing for us in The Spires on Wednesdays 4th and 11th December, and there will be a fundraising Festive Extravaganza at The Landsby on Monday 9th December.

On this page of the website you can see our events programme presented in two different ways. Use the drop-down menu immediately below this text to select either ‘Agenda’ (an interactive list with dates, which is the default option) or ‘Month’ (an interactive calendar that shows the planned events month by month). Each of these options provides an overview of our scheduled events.

You can find out more detailed information about an event in the following ways.
