Sharrow Bay fetches £32,000 for charity Posted on 07/12/2007
Sharrow Bay is delighted to have helped raise a staggering £32,000 for Children in Need this November.
The hotel auctioned an ultimate ‘Money Cant Buy’ experience on Terry Wogan’s Radio 2 show with an anonymous caller piping the previous bid of £30,000 at the last minute. The package involved a two night stay at the top suite at Sharrow Bay including being chauffeur driven from their home to the hotel where they will be met by Radio 2’s own Sarah Kennedy.
Once unpacked the bidder will be given exclusive use of an Ullswater steamer, manned by captain and crew. Whilst the steamer navigates the lake, they will sit back and relax, sampling excellent wines, in the company of Nicolas Chieze, the hotels award winning Wine Director.
In the evening the bidders will enjoy a six-course dinning experience in the hotels Michelin star restaurant, overlooking some of the finest views in the country.
Next morning the bidders will be given a one to one sailing tuition with former Premiership footballer, Craig Short. Then, for the first time in the hotels history, the inventors of sticky toffee pudding will teach them their recipe, which has remained a secret since the 1970’s before they retire for another night of comfort at the hotel.
