Hanging Baskets
We are very pleased to announce that, once again, we have ordered the hanging baskets to be displayed around the village during the summer months.
The generosity of our loyal sponsors year on year is always much appreciated and without them we would not be able to have anywhere near as many as we do. If you are one of our sponsors, we will be in touch soon with all the details and hopefully, add you to the list once again.
Anyone else wishing to sponsor a basket in memory of a loved one, or to advertise a business, mark an anniversary or just to be a part of making Stanley a beautiful place to live, should contact us through this link for more information. The cost is less than £1 a day plus a small one-off payment for a plaque if required.
The baskets go up on lampposts around the beginning of June and we are confident they will look superb as they always do.
