Sarsden Glebe Open Gardens: 3 April 2026

On 3 April 2026, we will be running one of the most popular events in our fundraising calendar, Sarsden Glebe Open Gardens, As part of the National Garden Scheme, the beautiful grounds of Sarsden Glebe will be open from 12.30 - 5.00 with admission giving access to walled garden, woodland with spring bulbs and formal terraced planting. After a stroll of the gardens, why not stop off at the Thrive Courtyard Cafe for a slice of delicious homemade cake and a cup of tea, coffee or cool drink to recharge the batteries.

The Old Rectory: 31 May 2026

A refreshments stall at The Old Rectory National Open Gardens event is a new addition to our fundraising calendar. We are planning to recreate the magic of our other pop up cafes with delicious bakes and hot and cold drinks for the hungry visitors to this one acre family garden with outstanding views across a Cotswold valley, a natural swimming pond, gravel garden, herbaceous borders, orchard and vegetable patch. With many places to sit and enjoy the views, a terrace and newly planted sunken rose garden, this has the makings of a perfect Sunday afternoon.

Churchill Car Show: 14 June 2026

Donations from Churchill Car Show have supported our work in the OX7 community since 2016 and we are delighted to have been invited to this year’s event in June 2026. The Thrive team will be at the gates from 11.00 - 4.00 to greet visitors on admission and run our ever-popular tombola stall for those who enjoy a little flutter.
