            Six months of preparation later and we have the programme ready for Daffodil Weekend.
We’re getting the final touches ready for receiving our lovely visitors - not long now.
The daffodils are doing their bit around the village (finally), the volunteers are (nearly) sorted, and the baking ingredients are ordered from the village shop. Ready, set, bake!
 
             
             
             
            The Thriplow Society will once again be demonstrating the art of blacksmithing at the historic Smithy on the Village Green. There will be a Blacksmith making horseshoes and other iron items each day.
Also there will be an exhibition of Farming Past and Present in the Gazebo adjoining the Smithy with a wonderful display of old farming tools and photographs from the past.
Come and see how the working life of the village functioned in the past.
 
             
             
             
            To honour Betty Boothroyd’s contribution to the village, Thriplow will be planting a special display of Madam Speaker this Autumn.
Rest in peace, Betty.
 
            Early bird reduced ticket prices end on 28 February, so don’t miss out.
 
            We sold out well before the event last year, so book early to avoid disappointment.
Please remember, we are run entirely by volunteers and ALL profits go to our very worthwhile nominated charities: Cambridge Sustainable Food, MAGPAS Air Ambulance and Tom’s Trust.
Each year, the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend Trust carefully study the applications to become our nominated charity for the funds raised over the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend. All charity applicants have to be local, have a Thriplow relevance and be nominated by a Thriplow and Heathfield Parish resident.
This year, we are supporting three very worthy causes namely Cambridge Sustainable Food, MAGPAS air Ambulance and Tom’s Trust.
Please join us over the weekend so we can raise as much as possible so that these charities can keep helping people in these difficult times.
We are an event run entirely by volunteers (over 350 at the last count) and ALL profits go to charity.
Word is getting out…thank you Budget Traveller.
 
            Advanced tickets only ~ early bird prices close 28 February 2023
We are a small village and have to limit numbers, so please get your tickets now to avoid disappointment. We sold out last year, so book as early as you can.
 
            We know you’re all raring to go, so we’ve opened stall applications earlier this year!
If you think your stall would fit in well at the Weekend please send in your application - we’d love to hear from you.
 
            Together, we have raised a record £70,000 for our charities. You rock! Thank you.
 
            This event is now online ticket sale only and NO tickets will be sold on the gate.
 
            We are an event organised and run entirely by volunteers and ALL profit goes to our charities.
Daffodil Weekend is all about raising funds for local charities and community projects. These last few years, charities have been very limited on holding their usual fundraising events and as such they desperately need support.
Please come and say hello to our two nominated charities for 2022. They both have stalls on the Village Green, with lots of fun things to do and buy.
Kids will just love East Anglia Air Ambulance’s rather cute mascot called Hellibob and The Royal Papworth Charity cuddly ducks.
 
            In recognition of both the humanitarian and global disaster unfolding in Ukraine, as the direct result of Russian unprovoked aggression, the Trustees of the Thriplow Daffodil Weekend Trust have announced that they will be supporting an appropriate Ukrainian charity with immediate effect.
The Daffodil Weekend Trust will be donating 10% of the 2022 surplus to Ukraine charities focussed on supporting Ukrainian people suffering as a result of this Russian action.
This will be donation in addition those that will be made to the chosen external charities and to other local charities that successfully apply for a donation.
 
            Most of the event is outdoors or in vented marquees, but there will be people of all ages and in all levels of health, so it's best to be safe and considerate.
Thank you.
