Even more raffle prizes

We told you that there is a bumper pot of prizes available in our raffle and we weren’t joking.

Here’s a few more pics of some of the prizes available.  Oh yes, and there’s a star prize too but we’ll save that for another post.

Raffle tickets will cost £1 each or £4 for 5 tickets and will be available from the Yarningham merchandise stand located in the main hall.

All proceeds raised will be donated to this year’s charity RSVP.  For more information about RSVP visit their website.

Advanced tickets for Yarningham marketplace are £5 (+ booking fee) and are available here.
