Fundraising and events

Pop-up cafe for bikers weekend
24 & 25 May | 10am-5pm | Hesket Newmarket Community Shop
If anyone would like to help serve or bake cakes, then please get in touch with Philippa. We’ll need to organise our volunteers into time slots so we make sure we can cover the whole weekend. (Thanks to Andy for letting us back into the tearoom!)


Volunteers drop in event
Wed 4 Jun | 6pm-9pm | Millhouse Village Hall
We are getting ready for a fresh start – and we’d love your help!
Whether it’s stocking shelves, running the till, baking cakes or making tea, there’s a role for everyone. Post Office training is free, and no one will be asked to do anything they’re not comfy with.
Pop in to register, leave your details in the shop, or sign up online. Let’s chat about how you can get involved – it’ll be fun, rewarding and make a real difference.


AGM & Big Lunch
14 June | 11am | Caldbeck Parish Hall
Celebrate local food with us! We’re looking for volunteers to help with BBQs and baking (ingredients can be provided). Get in touch with Philippa if you’d like to be involved.
We’re linking this to Great Big Green Week (7–15 June) and our new plans to cut waste at the tearoom — including smaller portions, less plastic, and a refill service.
