Felixstowe Mayor’s Charity Bargain Hunt at the Triangle

Saturday 31st August 2024, 10:30am

About

Teams representing ten local charities will be diving into the shops of Felixstowe to hunt for items to sell at a charity auction with all profits going to good causes supported by the town’s Mayor.
After the shopping spree – which could see up to £1,000 spent in local shops – all items will be sold at an auction at a Cheese and Wine Gala event at Landguard Fort on September 5th.
Felixstowe Mayor Cllr David Rowe’s chosen charities for the year are Breast Friends, a charity offering support to women affected by breast cancer, and the Landguard Trust which works to protect and enhance Landguard Nature Reserve, Landguard Fort and Felixstowe Museum.
The event aims to make the most of Felixstowe’s unique collection of shops. The bargain hunters can buy anything they like with the hope of turning a profit at auction. The hunt will start from the Triangle in Hamilton Road on Saturday, August 31 at 10.30 am and each team will have just two hours to spend £100.
The Cheese and Wine Gala will take place on the evening of September 5th from 6.30pm when guests can try a selection of Adnams wines paired with delicious cheese from Alba Chiara in the magnificent setting of Landguard Fort. As well as the auction, there will be entertainment from Asha Louise and an opportunity to see something of the Fort.
There will be cash prizes for the charities who raise the most money. The winning team will receive £500 for their cause, while the runners up will walk away £300 while the team in third place will take home £200.
