St Barnabas Hospice Are Preparing to Host a Brand-New ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ Event in the Heart of Uphill Lincoln

This October, St Barnabas Hospice are inviting supporters to the heart of Lincoln’s Cathedral Quarter to enjoy an afternoon of cuisine, couture and boutique browsing, whilst raising vital funds for local hospice care.

In partnership with some of Lincoln’s most celebrated businesses, St Barnabas are launching a brand-new ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ event, due to take place on Thursday 10th October 2024.

The recently revamped White Hart Hotel, situated in the Bailgate of Lincoln, will host the inaugural event, beautifully decorated by the Lincolnshire Flower Company.

General Manager at the White Hart Hotel, Paul Noble, said: “As a long-standing corporate supporter of St Barnabas Hospice, we are thrilled to have been selected as the venue for their upcoming ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ event.

“At the White Hart, we have previously supported many of St Barnabas Hospice’s fundraising efforts and are really excited to be taking part in this new event.

“Our recent refurbishment at the hotel means we were able to donate a number of pieces of furniture to St Barnabas’ flagship store, The Warehouse, in Lincoln, and to continue our support is something we’re really proud of.

“We feel that the upcoming event is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our newly refurbished hotel, whilst continuing to support a local charity that provides vital hospice care to patients and families in our community.”

Supporters can look forward to a welcome cocktail, made with Pin Gin x St Barnabas Gin and Rum, and a two-course meal, as The White Hart combines the finest local ingredients from the best artisanal producers.

The lunch will be followed by an exclusive preview of the latest fashion trends and unique pieces of the season with a stunning display from local boutique, SELF. Further to this, there will be an exclusive talk and showcase from renowned Milliner, Ian Bennett, whose clientele includes the royal family and stars of stage and screen.

Into the afternoon, there will be an opportunity to explore and support some of Lincoln’s finest independent businesses. The Hospice are due to welcome a selection of boutique stalls, from artisan fudge to unique homewares and ethical clothing, alongside a premium raffle.

Deborah Yarwood, Fundraising Officer and Project Lead of ‘Ladies Who Lunch’ said: “On behalf of everyone at St Barnabas, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to the White Hart and all the businesses who are generously supporting our upcoming event.

“It is absolutely amazing to see tremendous community collaboration from local businesses and supporters alike, all willing to support the continuation of vital hospice care across Lincolnshire.

“If you are looking to enjoy a fabulous day out with friends, family or colleagues, join us at our Ladies Who Lunch, in support of St Barnabas Hospice.”
