Traders urged to apply for two huge events in 2025

TRADERS are being invited to register for two huge outdoor events in 2025 raising money for the Wiltshire Bobby Van and Wiltshire Air Ambulance trusts, one that has proved overwhelmingly popular and the other a brand new crowd-pleaser.

Middlewick House, the home of Nick and Annette Mason, will welcome thousands of visitors to enjoy the grounds, take in the sight of dozens of classic sportscars at its annual open day on Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8 from 10am to 5pm.

Last year more than 11,000 visitors poured into the estate near Corsham, raising more than £123,000 for the two charities.

New for summer 2025 is the Paws for A Cause dog show and summer fair at Rainscombe Park, Oare, on Saturday June 21, also from 10am to 5pm. The inaugural event will be a memorable way to mark the longest day of the year.

Wiltshire Bobby Van Director Jennie Shaw said: “Once again we are thankful to Nick and Annette Mason for opening up their home to support our two charities. This year was the most successful event yet and because of the demand we saw we know that next year will be at least as popular.

“Paws For A Cause is a new event inspired by the county’s love for dogs and Rainscombe Park will be a magnificent setting for a show that will have everything for the dog lover as well as for families.

“We’re certain traders won’t want to miss these two excellent opportunities.”
