Photo fundraiser
CHESHIRE children’s photographer Helen Rae will team up with Abbeywood Gardens in Delamere to host a fundraising event for two charities.
Portrait Days, which will take place on April 9 and 12 as well as June 4, will enable families to have a mini portrait session in beautiful surroundings overlooking the Kelsall Hills in Delamere.
Each 45-minute session costs a charitable donation of £20, plus 10% of all frame sales will go to The SMA Trust and Diabetes UK.
Abbeywood is a 45-acre Cheshire garden and family estate in the Delamere countryside. Home to the Rowlinson family since 1987, Abbeywood opened to the public over 18 months ago for visits and bookings.
All bookings must be made in advance by calling Helen Rae Photography on 01606 783000.
