to the local community
We will be closed for a short summer break. We will be closed Tuesday, 20th August and will reopen on Tuesday, 3rd September. We apologise for the inconvenience, but hope to see you again when we reopen.
On Wednesday 17th July, Ashford & Tenterden Umbrella opened its doors to the wider local community as part of the Ashford Food & Drink Festival.
Thank you to everyone who made and brought along their special recipes. There were some mouthwatering dishes, lots of chatter, and we are sure some new connections were made. Thanks also to Willow and Green for your help and support.
You can share your Keepsake recipe with others here.

We were recently lucky enough to have a team of lovely volunteers from NFU Mutual Ashford, Tenterden & Whitfield join us for the day to help with fundraising, activities, and tidying up our messy store cupboard! Thank you all, we are always grateful for your support.
We are continuing to run our free art class for adults every Thursday between 11am and 1pm at the Parish Rooms, Ashford. The sessions are delivered by arts charity In A Space. There are different projects each week, or bring your own along if your prefer. There is no need to book, and everyone is welcome.
Our Grand Christmas Raffle has now been drawn, and all of the winners have been contacted. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets and a huge thank you to all of our supporters who donated over £1000 worth of prizes in total. With your help, we raised over £600 for our charity, which will go directly to helping the people we support in our local community.
