Following on from our incredibly successful and well-supported Sloughbottom Parkrun Pop-Up, our Retail Team are back, offering another fantastic selection of preloved sportswear to the running community.
This time our collaboration is with Catton Parkrun, and we sincerely thank them for allowing us to join their Saturday morning.
We know what runners like; and the combination of affordable sportswear teamed with cake is sure to be a winner!
Our items are not priced, as we believe they should be accessible to all. We just ask for a suggested minimum donation of £3 per item.
The cake stall will be stocked with post-run treats and will include vegan options.
We are also able to accept sportswear donations on the day, and would love to utilise any of your unwanted items to help generate funds for our charity.
Cash and card payments are accepted.
We can’t wait to see you again! 3-2-1 GO!

We are thrilled to be benefitting from profits and donations for the second year running at this very popular horticultural event.
Plant Lovers Day is now in its 18th year, and takes place at the beautiful monastic site of Creake Abbey, just south of Burnham Market in north Norfolk.
Plant Lovers’ Day, now in its 18th year, welcomes specialist garden nurseries from across Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex; and leading nurseries from further afield are invited to showcase their best quality plants. Excellent-value herbaceous perennials, annuals, bulbs, shrubs, climbers and a wide selection of popular plants such as roses, will be on offer.
Visitors are invited to buy direct from the nurseries, or pre-order specific plants with collection on the day. As always, the public is encouraged to take full advantage of the advice and inspiration on offer from the region’s leading plantsmen. See the full list of stand holders here.
Entrance to the plant fair is £5.00 per adult, with all proceeds coming to the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity. There is no charge for under 16s. The rest of the site is free to visitors. Dogs on leads are welcome, but must not be left in cars.
A plant creche will operate all day in the Main Barn, allowing you to shop and drop. Supervised by a member of Creake Abbey staff.
Refreshments on the day will be provided by a stunning line up of carefully selected Norfolk street food and catering businesses alongside The Barn Café, as follows:
Owie’s Big Black Piggy Porkers – hot bacon or sausage baps and pork burgers
The Duck Truck – the famous duck wraps with cucumber, spring onion and hoisin sauce
Coffeesmiths – Artisan coffee, tea and snacks
The Hope Coffee Co – Barista coffee, tea and hot chocolate
Traditional Norfolk Ice Cream – Cones, ice creams and tubs from the Lakenham Creamery
Visitors may also browse the wares and services of Creake Abbey’s resident independent shops and services free of charge.
Places for this event are now SOLD OUT.

“We had a fantastic time completing the 5K inflatable run, and even better, it supported the Priscilla Bacon Hospice Charity! The numerous obstacle courses made it feel like we weren’t running 5 kilometres. After our team regrouped at the finish line, we agreed that we would have to do this again next year!”
Shane Julian, 2024 participant
“We all had a blast, thank you to all who organised the event!”
