The CHCT Annual party is undoubtedly one of Cornwall’s Christmas highlights, and deservedly so.

The elegance of Boconnoc was echoed by the guests who once again turned up in party mood ensuring the great success of the evening.

Deep gratitude goes to Elizabeth and Claire Fortescue who loaned the house for the party, and also to the dedicated team of canapé ladies who year after year produce mouth-watering eats whilst enjoying a parallel party in the kitchen – each party is as much fun as the other!

A huge thank you goes to those who collected and donated prizes for the Raffle and the hamper, also to Alexandra Bolitho for the stunning and most original wreaths, all of which add so successfully to the profits of the evening.

And of course, it wouldn’t even happen without the very generous and dedicated support of our sponsors, Savills, so a huge thank you from all of us goes to them.

I am happy to report that a healthy sum in excess of £6,500 was raised at this year’s party.
