Macmillan coffee and cake afternoon

Cake, cake and more cake! And all to help the vital work of Macmillan.

Yes, it’s that time again, for the annual get-together for yummy cakes, tasty hot drinks and great company at the Fishbourne Centre on Friday 29 September 2023 from 2-4pm, in aid of Macmillan cancer support charity.

We’re hoping for lovely weather so we can all enjoy the lovely Fishbourne Playing Fields, off Blackboy Lane. But a wet weather plan is in hand and we will be inside the centre if it is raining. There’s also lots of parking at the venue and it’s an easy short walk from Fishbourne train station or bus stop.

Donations of cakes are welcome from 1pm – please do label any containers with your name and contact, and include the list of ingredients to help anyone with dietary issues enjoy the event too. If you can help set up and move tables and chairs, do please come along at 1pm too, and any help at the end of the event is always appreciated. Prizes for a raffle can be brought at this time too or please leave them with the Fishbourne Centre staff.

As last year, we are keen to make sure every baker feels involved, so if you love home baking but never brought a cake to an event, then come and share your creation. Last year’s event saw two first time bakers in their 20 and 30s who were inspired to show off their cooking skills and learn from some brilliant bakers in the area who donate cakes each year to this fundraiser.

A big thanks to the Fishbourne Centre, the Fishbourne Parish Council, Fishbourne Evening WI, and everyone for all their help with this community event.
