Fun, food & fundraising at the Ruby Lodge Care Home May fair
Residents at Ruby Lodge Care Home in Thirsk are looking forward to welcoming the local community to their May Fair event, taking place on Saturday, 31st May from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon.
The event promises to be a fun-filled morning for all ages, with a vibrant selection of stalls, entertainment, and activities—all while raising money for a meaningful cause.
'This year's May Fair will support Andy's Man Club, a charity dedicated to suicide prevention and promoting mental health awareness for men," commented home manager Holly Hunton.
"We care for many male residents here at Ruby Lodge and know how important it is to help break down the sigma of men's mental health," commented home manager Holly Hunton.

Confirmed stallholders include: Jewellery by Carolyn, children's books and gifts from Claire and her 'Sparkling Touches,' bags and cushions by Cherie White. There will be Wooden crafts by Sarah Hubbock, and tote bags and baby clothes from Gillian Starkie. Vicky Queenan will be offering Oriflame cosmetics, while Go Indian Spice will bring a taste of the exotic with their selection of spices. Ana will be selling children's pens and stationery, and Lara Nursery will also be hosting a stall.
In addition to shopping, there will be plenty of entertainment and family-friendly activities. Local singer Paul Moore will perform live music, creating a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Children will enjoy face painting and classic games like tug of war and the ever popular 'throw a sponge' challenge.
No fair would be complete without a sweet treat, and visitors can look forward to a visit from Pearson's Ices of Thirsk, who will be serving up delicious ice cream on site. Light refreshments will be available throughout the morning.
