Crowds brave rain to raise £5,000 for human rights

Last Sunday was the 29^th Amnesty International Garden Party at Goldney Hall in Clifton which has been promoted locally. Despite forcasts of heavy rain, over 600 people attended the event, which celebrated Amnesty International’s 50^th Birthday. Performances from Feral Beryl, Cindy Stratton, Ramblin Tyme and Westerly Winds were well received in the beautiful orangery and the event ended with a lovely performance by People of Note Choir.

Between the rainstorms was glorious sunshine and plenty of time for some outdoor entertainment from magicians and storytellers. There were games and raffles and possibly more cake than was humanly possible to eat.

In total around £5,000 was rasied for Amnesty International and the Bristol Amnesty group would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended, performed, or helped in anyway to make the day so wonderful. They look forward to seeing you again at their 30^th Garden Party next year!
