The Gala Dinner on October 4th 2025 was truly a standout highlight of our year elegant, fun, and overwhelmingly successful. We raised nearly £3,000 from the evening itself, but the generosity didn’t stop there. Supporters donated over £5,000 worth of auction items, including flowers, luxury drinks, holidays, a canal boat trip, a full photo booth experience, and many other incredible prizes.

The response from the community was extraordinary, and pledges made on the night exceeded £20,000, showing the depth of support for returning The Boot Inn to village life. If you were lucky enough to win one of the auction lots, we’d love to see photos of you enjoying it your smiles keep us motivated!
