Local housebuilder, David Wilson Homes, is celebrating the 100th anniversary of the annual Thornton-le-Dale Show by generously donating a total of £1,500 to the event.
The donation will go directly towards funding a new temporary road to ease concerns regarding accessibility, should weather conditions be poor. In 2017, the show suffered a huge loss due to poor weather conditions causing saturated grounds, which prevented vehicles travelling to the show. Although a loss of this magnitude will take several years to recover from, the generous donation of £1,500 from David Wilson Homes will start the process to ensure that in future years the show can go ahead, rain or shine.
David Wilson Homes will be present at the show, providing prospective homeowners with information about its new Heather Croft development in Pickering which is due to launch on Saturday 24th August.
Paul Hogan, Sales Director at Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, commented: “It’s fantastic to be able to show our support for Thornton-le-Dale Show, especially on the 100th year of the annual event taking place. It’s set to be a wonderful occasion and the David Wilson Homes team will be there to answer any questions about our exciting new development, Heather Croft.”
In addition to the £1,500 donation, David Wilson Homes is also handing out a total of 500 branded golden retriever soft toys to local children and enlisting the help of a golden retriever mascot to entertain people throughout the day.
The Thornton-le-Dale Show offers an entertaining day out for the whole family, celebrating all that is great about the British countryside and promoting a sense of community. The event, which attracts visitors from both far and near, has a jam-packed schedule which continues well into the evening, suiting all ages and interests.
Martin Blythe, Chairman at Thornton-le-Dale Show, commented: “We’d like to extend our thanks to David Wilson Homes for their support and contributing £1,500 towards the cost of a temporary road, which will be vital to the show’s continued success. We’re expecting this year to be one of the best events to date and we can’t wait to see everyone there.”
Situated in the heart of the North York Moors in the thriving market town of Pickering, Heather Croft will offer the opportunity to move to a luxury two, three or four-bedroom home within walking distance of the town centre.
