Tickets are available on the day at Greatham Community Centre. Also included are talks throughout the afternoon on the history of the Hospital of God. There is food and refreshments available at Greatham Community Centre, so why not pay us a visit and enjoy a walk through our splendid snowdrops as they herald out loud the coming of spring.
