Denbigh and Flint Show Prize Draw

There were over 150 entries to this year's free prize draw at the Denbigh and Flint Show. The prize of a luxury hamper proved very popular and it was great to have so many people entering and excited about the possibility of winning.

Our very own Karen Schofield of the Chester office reception picked the Lucky ticket out of the hat after a good rummage through a brimming box of tickets.

Mr Ellis of Penymynydd was the lucky winner and he happened to be in the area to come into our office and collect his luxury hamper.

We run the competition every year and we hope to have even more entries at next years festival!

Denbigh and Flint Show 2013

This year Allington Hughes yet again shared a marquee at the Denbigh and Flint show with our friends over at Wright Manley. 

There were refreshments served throughout the day to welcome the hoards of people who flooded to the event in order to enjoy an array of various stalls and competitions.

We were delighted to see so many new and familiar faces in our tent and we hope that everyone we spoke to enjoyed the refreshments that were on offer. The day was a great success and everyone from Allington Hughes and Wright Manley would like to thank the organisers and everyone that attended on the day, and we hope to see you all next year.
