The Brabazon Bar team recently created and served a variety of delicious mocktails to all employees in the staff canteen, raising money for our three partner charities: MND, Teenage Cancer Trust, and Hospitality Action. Thanks to everyone's support, they successfully raised a total of £130 for these great causes.

At The Belfry Hotel, we offer a comprehensive work experience program designed for pupils from local schools to gain valuable insights into the hospitality industry. This program, lasting between one and two weeks, provides students with hands-on experience across various departments, helping them to develop essential skills and a deeper understanding of hotel operations. Through this initiative, we aim to inspire the next generation of hospitality professionals and support our local community.

Our restaurant team recently organised a fundraiser in support of our three chosen charities: MND, Hospitality Action and Teenage Cancer Trust. Guests and employees were invited to participate in a fun guessing game: estimating the number of sweets in a jar for the chance to win fantastic prizes, including a dinner experience at our restaurant. Each guess came at a nominal fee of £1. Thanks to the incredible generosity, we raised a total of £140. This event not only brought joy and excitement but also made a meaningful impact in our efforts to support these worthy causes.

During February the Sam's , Driving Range &amp; Halfway
House Team walked 1000 miles for our close partnered charities ( MND,
Hospitality Action &amp; Teenage Cancer Trust).<o:p></o:p>
