This bank holiday Sunday, August 26, the Luttons branch of the Yorkshire Countrywomen’s Association is hosting a ‘Garage Sale Trail’through the villages of East and West Lutton.
Raising money for St Catherine’s Hospice, the ‘Garage Sale Trail’ will include around 15 stalls and garages for people to visit throughout both villages.
Each location will be marked on a map, and selling a range of items including toys, books, toiletries, cakes and jam, along with other second-hand household items.
The Luttons branch of the YCA are hoping to attract visitors from outside the area along with residents from across the Wolds Valley.
The base for the event will be St Mary’s Church in West Lutton, where refreshments, toilets and some stalls will be available from 1.30pm to 5.00pm. The map can be purchased for 50p from the church and from other points in the two villages.
There has a been a branch of the YCA in Luttons for most of the time since the association started up in 1983. Meeting monthly the group enjoy a multitude of activities including day trips, theatre outings, dining out and more.
Rachel Macdonald is a resident of West Lutton and has been a member since 2005 “We are a small branch at Luttons but every year we hold a couple of events to raise money for a local charity. St Catherine’s’ Hospice is a charity that is particularly supported by the group as some members have had personal experience of the hospice providing amazing care for family members.”
Rachel said: “In addition to raising money for charity, we hope that the ‘Garage Sale Trail’ will encourage people to visit our beautiful villages whilst finding some great bargains.
“But also, the event has already highlighted the branch to members of the community and hopefully we will attract some new members along the way.”
