Our Feast Day Coffee Morning at the Western is coming up soon!
As St Ives begins to buzz with the joy and tradition of Feast Day, we’re delighted to once again invite our community to one of our most cherished annual gatherings: the Edward Hain Centre Feast Day Coffee Morning.
Join us between 10:00 and 12:30 in the welcoming warmth of the Western Hotel, who so generously host the event each year. This special morning has become a firm part of Feast Day celebrations: an opportunity for local residents, supporters, and friends old and new to come together. A wonderful example of the true spirit of St Ives!
A Celebration of Community, Connection and Tradition
Feast Day has always been a time where the town unites in pride and shared heritage. Our coffee morning is no exception. Over the years, it has grown into a warm, bustling gathering filled with conversation, homemade treats, and heartfelt community support.
The purpose of the Coffee Morning remains simple but deeply meaningful:
- To celebrate Feast Day together over coffee, cakes, raffles, and friendly conversation
- To raise awareness of the Edward Hain Centre’s work, including our health, wellbeing, and community programmes
- To generate vital funds that help us continue supporting the people of St Ives through our services.
What to Expect on the Day
🔸 Homemade Cakes & Bake Sale: Our wonderfully generous community bakers will once again be donating a delicious selection of cakes and homemade treats. Whether you’re a fan of a traditional sponge, something indulgent and chocolatey, or a traybake with a twist, there’ll be plenty to enjoy!
🔸 Raffle & Tombola: Thanks to the kindness of local supporters, our raffle and tombola are always a highlight. Every ticket bought helps raise essential funds for the Centre and you may just go home with a fantastic prize!
🔸 A Festive Community Atmosphere: The morning is always lively, with a steady flow of friendly faces and the welcome presence of the Mayoral party, who regularly join us in support of the event – this year included!
If you’d like to contribute to the above in any way, we would be delighted. Cakes, biscuits, buns, are always welcome; as are Raffle and Tombola items (a chance to clear your shelves of good quality but perhaps unwanted Christmas gifts. . .?) Please contact Nadine at nadinet@edwardhaincentre.org.uk (email subject Feast Day donations) to arrange delivery to the Centre before the event. With our heartfelt thanks!
Your Support Makes a Real Difference
We’re continually humbled by the generosity shown each Feast Day. These contributions directly support our operational costs and programmes, allowing the Edward Hain Centre to continue being a vital hub for connection, wellbeing, and community support in St Ives.
Our Feast Day Coffee Morning is a celebration of everything that makes St Ives such a tight‑knit and caring community. Whether you come for a slice of cake, a friendly chat, or to try your luck in the raffle – or any and all of the above! – your presence makes this event truly special. Pop in for a moment, or stay the whole time.
🧡 We look forward to welcoming you for a morning of warmth, connection, and yummy celebration! 🧡
