We raised over £2600 for charity!!

Thanks to all of you that took part in the Cornwall Twestival local charity night which raised a whopping amount for CHICKS (Countryside Holidays for Inner City Kids) this amount will go towards giving disadvantaged and vulnerable children the chance to enjoy a free fun-filled break in Devon or Cornwall. The charity relies entirely on donations, so are extremely thrilled with the kind support of everyone involved.

For those of you that could not join us at the event, our beach-chic themed evening was a pleasure to host and we hope to see you next time!

Local Cornish Artist Gallery @ Bedruthan Venue

The evening of Thursday 20th saw the launch evening of the Bedruthan Steps Local Artist Gallery at the Venue. Many people are not aware that we have a wonderful Events and Conference Centre at Bedruthan, which in the summer we like to offer to talented local artists to show their work. We have many weddings, parties and conferences held at the Venue throughout the year which has a gorgeous view out to Mawgan Porth beach and the surrounding countryside.

This year Stuart Rowe and Sophie Edwards-East are exhibiting their work. Both artists are inspired by the dramatic and beautiful Cornish landscape which comes across in a fresh and vibrant way through their work. The launch evening was a great success enjoyed by hotel guests as well as local Cornish residents. There was a free glass of bubbly for all in the bar and canapes and a chat with the artists in the exhibition room itself. The artwork was very well received and perhaps even a few purchases made - be quick if you fancy a peek yourself as there may not be many left at the end of the exhibition!

If you haven't seen the exhibition or the Venue please feel free to drop in anytime during the day from now until September 3rd.

Cornwall Twestival Local @ Bedruthan Venue

Here at Bedruthan we are just as dedicated to social media marketing as we are to supporting the local community and local charities - therefore hosting Cornwall Twestival Local 2009 gave us the perfect opportunity to combine the two and have a beach party at the same time!

Twestival is a Twitter Festival which was born out of the idea that if locations around the world could collaborate on an international scale, but work from a local level, it would have a spectacular impact. 100% of the proceeds from this event will go to a local charity and everyone involved in Twestival is a volunteer; majority are crowdsourced using Twitter. The Twestival concept aims to connect people offline at the same time as raising money for worthy causes.

As this event is at the beach side Bedruthan Venue with stunning sea views a theme of Beach Chic was decided - smart evening wear with a beach inspired twist. The event will run on 12th September from 7.30pm - midnight - there will be live music, a DJ and charity auction featuring the top prize as a two night stay at eco luxury The Scarlet Hotel.

Click here to buy tickets and join us with a hoola and cocktail on the balcony overlooking Mawgan Porth!

What are we giving up for Lent?

Here are just some of the emails I received back when I asked what some of the Bedruthan team was giving up…
Kate, Marketing Manager

Michelle (Acting Manager of Children’s Clubs and red Jelly Bean fiend)
Goodness give up red jellybeans – you HAVE to be kidding!!!!!!!! Is that even possible? Can I see myself do this for the entirety of Lent?! OK lets give it a go, the Jellybean Queen is going to give up red jellybeans for Lent this year….aarrggh what have I said!?!

Lisa (Best Dancer award winner at the staff Christmas party)
I thought I might just give up my life long dream of being a comedian as not sure it's working ;0) Could I give up my car? I do have a bike! Do I want thighs like a body builder? UMM NO! So I will give up nothing but I will start dancing every day ;0) xx

Anne-Sofie (A Great Dane)
Something as trivial as stop using sugar in my coffee…it does seem to keep the ‘have to have a sweet with the coffee’ need at bay.

Claire (Horse riding enthusiast)
Trashy celeb gossip magazines! Now, Heat, Closer, Look, Reveal to name but a few! Out of the loop on celebrity fashion and gossip for 40 days…this is going to be hard!!!

Kate (Domestic Goddess)
Sweet things. Let’s face it this is never going to happen in my life time and especially after receiving the new issue of Olive magazine! How about I give up rubbish TV? Yeah that sounds better.

Emma (A very busy lady!)
Too many commitments in the diary. Oh and sarcasm!

Suzie (Green Goddess)
Late night snacking on Edam on Toast and Marmite. Currently eaten every day.

Reception
We at reception will be giving up the following for lent:
1. our new years resolutions
2. kindness toward seagulls
3. remembering other people’s birthdays
4. Jack Daniels and coke whilst at work
5. what is left of our sanity
And possibly answering marketing emails whilst busy lest we be forced to resort to breaking #4
P.S. Michelle wants you to think they are just red jellybeans but once we saw a seagull eat one and it started speaking perfect Italian. It now works over at Sands Resort. Re: #5

James (Director)
Sarcasm

Mandy (Front of House Manager)
Pav and I are going to give up chocolate. We have attempted this in previous years but with not much success (as you know how much we love chocolate). We are going to really give it a try this year and I suppose there will be not much chance of cheating whilst at work now that I have declared it to you all…

Dave (Maintenance)
Sugar and Fizzy Drinks
