The charity supports serving and ex-service personnel and are touring with 11 'Forgot You Not Rock' concerts for veterans and their guests. The events have been organised to entertain, boost morale and lift lockdown spirits for those affected by isolation and during the pandemic. On July 12, we hosted the first two events, kick starting the tour. They featured live music, dancing, interactive games, a raffle, barbecue and refreshments, including Pimms. Bluetooth speakers were provided to each vehicle so guests could enjoy the party whatever the weather and maintain social distancing guidelines before restrictions were lifted on July 19. The sun did eventually make an appearance and guests, armed with picnic chairs and blankets, were able to enjoy an alfresco dance and singalong during the concerts which invited people to dress up - with a prize awarded for the most innovative outfit. Brigadier James Stopford CBE, CEO of The Not Forgotten, said: “We’re delighted to be touring the UK with this series of ‘Forgot You Not Rock’ summer garden party drive-in concerts that will take place, whatever the weather – come rain or shine. “Despite the easing of restrictions, it has been an incredibly challenging time for so many who have suffered with loneliness and mental health issues. "We are bringing some much-needed cheer, fun and entertainment to veterans across the country and are extremely grateful to the owners of the spectacular venues for giving us this wonderful opportunity to entertain those that have served our country.” The Not Forgotten charity works to combat isolation and loneliness among the armed forces community through social activities and challenge holidays.

"We'd also like to thank Lord Cobham, Clent Hills Rotary Club and Hagley Rotary Club, who helped to raise awareness and organise the run. "The money raised on the day will fund vital research and support, as well as help to prevent people from having a stroke." Feedback from the event has been fabulous and the folk that attended said that it was well organised with friendly staff, marshals and runners alike!

THE HALL BLOG 24/12/15 Festive Afternoon Teas a Great Success The festive afternoon teas went down a treat here at Hagley Hall in the run up to Christmas. Guests enjoyed delicious tea time goodies in the Long Gallery and Saloon served with pots of steaming tea or a glass or two of fizz. The tea had a festive flavour with sandwiches including turkey, herb stuffing & bacon, brie & cranberry and Cheddar & festive chutney. The sweet treats carried on the seasonal theme with apple mincemeat crumble tart and a rather indulgent Christmas pudding chocolate brownie. There was, of course, the traditional scone with whipped cream and jam as quite frankly it wouldn't have been a afternoon tea without one! And as a nod to the big man himself, there was even a lovely little strawberry Santa nestled in amongst the cake. People used the teas as early Christmas presents wanting to give their loved ones something different or special. We also had a good number of Birthday celebrations with people bringing in balloons to decorate their tables. One party even bought a cake although it went home uncut due to all the tasty offerings on the cake stands. We have had some wonderful accolades.

The Year 4 children from St Francis Catholic Primary in Handsworth, Birmingham had a wonderful time exploring the beautiful park surrounding this Palladian mansion home of Lord and Lady Cobham. Head of Landscape, Joe Hawkins took the children round the park explaining on the way the work he had been doing to restore the park to its former glory. The children's topic was 'superheroes' so they had fun imagining what the hall would be like as a home for a character like Batman. When the park was created in the mid eighteenth century, the design was greatly influenced by Greek and Roman mythology and incorporated many features, such as to remind George, 1st Lord Lyttleton, of his wife, Lucy, who died young. The scenery was adorned with architectural seats and follies, including The Ruined Castle, Temple of Theseus and a huge obelisk visible for miles around. Statues of goddesses like Venus and Diana decorated the glades and the legends these evoked included tales of special powers, such as Diana's ability to talk to and control animals and to transform people into animals or trees; rather like the comic book superheroes. Joe led us through the park, bringing these stories to life and giving the children inspiration for the powers of their imaginary superheroes. We found a perfect spot for the children to draw what they could see and there were some budding artists among them. We were thrilled to get some good views of the Fallow Deer roaming the park and looked for signs of other animals with amazing powers, such as the ability of bats to navigate by echo location and of birds to fly. Joe demonstrated his own power to find underground water using divining rods and the children all had a go. If you would like more information on school trips then click HERE.
