A summer of local sponsorship

At Rural View we are passionate about being involved in the local community, whether it be through sponsorship, donation or active participation. Over the years Rural View has contributed the equivalent of thousands of pounds to community and charity causes, and this summer we have once again been active, with the fine weather drawing large attendances to a variety of events.

Main sponsorships this year, as in past years, have included the wonderful Chalke History Festival, the splendid Fonthill Dog Show and bucolic Teffont Show, packed with entrants and visitors, and summing up what country life is all about in quite gorgeous settings.

In between times we supplied advertising boards for the Chilmark Fete, supported the East Knoyle Flower Show and we were delighted to help again with the Semley Summer Music Festival, itself a charitable event.

At the Chalke History Festival we sponsored a talk by Kevin McCloud, which was very well attended, and the Rural View buggies were again evident, charging around the festival grounds all week.

Across the whole county, meanwhile, we could be widely spotted as sponsors of the Wiltshire National Garden Scheme on the front of their vibrant yellow booklets. This is our third year and we were delighted to again see a cluster of local gardens being opened to the public. Among many, these included Fonthill House, Knoyle Place and Semley Grange. This fantastic charity is UK wide, and to be involved locally is very close to our heart.

We have a budget and can’t support everything, but if you have an event in mind that might benefit from our help, do ask.
