Our Fabulous Garden Party is Back with a BANG!

Garden Party is back for 2026

Step right up… the Summer Garden Party is back, and it’s bringing all the fun of the fair with it! 

Join us on Sunday, 7th June, 12–4 pm, for a fun-fair themed celebration in the beautiful woodland gardens of St Joseph’s Hospice.

Bring the whole family and get ready for an afternoon bursting with laughter, colour and a sprinkle of good old-fashioned nostalgia!

What’s in store?
Fun-fair games (yes, there will be prizes!)
An artisan market full of fabulous finds
Tasty refreshment stalls
Live entertainment to keep toes tapping
Teddy Bear Parade – bring your favourite teddy and let them join the fun!

We are also launching our St Joseph's Bake Off competition. Enter your cake into one of our categories, and the competition will be judged by Scouse Way of Life Cakes. It is free to enter but you need to register your cake here:

https://register.enthuse.com/ps/event/SummerGardenPartyBakeOff 

Bring your cakes to the marquee at 12pm, and judging is at 1pm.

All the cakes will be sold after the competition to raise money for the hospice!

Whether you’re feeling lucky at the games, browsing for a treat, or simply soaking up the summer vibes, there’s something for everyone.

And the best bit? Every penny raised helps support local families through St Joseph’s Hospice. 💛


Can You Help Us Create the Magic?

We’re on the lookout for donations to make our stalls extra special. We’d be incredibly grateful for:

Unopened bottles (anything from wine to shampoo!)

Bottles of prosecco

New, unwanted gifts

New, unopened toys

Gift bags

If you can help, please drop your donations off at the hospice in Thornton or at any of our St Joseph’s Hospice shops across Merseyside.
