PICTURES: Easter fun brings massive boost at farm museum in Skegness
Families flocked to the volunteer-led The Village Church Farm on Sunday to join in the fun – helping boost the coffers with much-needed funds for the upkeep of the Georgian/Victorian farmhouse and buildings.
A massive donation of more than £1,500 was also presented to the museum by Carnival Queen Katie Willits, who raised the money with a quiz night, tombola at the Hildreds Centre, a pet show and raffles.
"We are overwhelmed and can’t thank her enough,” said assistant manager ad volunteer Maxeen Andrew. “We had a fantastic day and lots of people have told us it was the best Easter event we have had.
"We had more stalls than ever before and we made sure our Easter egg hunt had something for everyone – even for those who can’t have chocolate.”
