Locals are invited to Good Hope Hospital’s eagerly anticipated community fete next weekend, with Suttonians encouraged to make a date in their diary for a free family day of fun. 

Taking place on Saturday 14 September in and around the Hospital’s education centre, there will be something for everyone to enjoy.  Live entertainment, free health checks,  clinician led tours of the theatres and A&E departments, ‘Meet the midwives’ sessions,  ‘come dine with me’ food tasting, a charity dog show, as well as a Teddy Bears Hospital, bouncy castle and face painting for children name just a few of the activities on offer on the day.

There are also fabulous raffle prizes to be won for those that arrive before 2.30pm including an i-pad, restaurant and retail vouchers and lots more besides.

Susan Moore, Good Hope managing director, said: “The community fete is shaping up to be a great day again this year.  As a hospital based in the heart of Sutton Coldfield, I feel that it is important to open our doors to the community so they can find out a little more about what we do.

“I would encourage everyone to come along whether they have a particular interest in health or not. There really is something for everyone to enjoy and with having the fete both indoors and outdoors we are good to go in any weather.”

The fete is open to all members of the public from 11am – 3pm and there is free onsite parking for all visitors via the Bedford Road entrance.

The Fete attracted several hundred visitors last year and all funds raised on the day go directly to the Hospital Trust charity, benefitting patients.
