Press Release Body: Peak District hotel and restaurant The Maynard is opening its doors to Grindleford Primary School at 9.00am on Wednesday 7 November, for the children to make their own Christmas puddings which will then go on sale to raise money for the school.
The Maynard is hosting the event, providing all ingredients free of charge, and giving the children a gourmet 'school dinner' in the ballroom at lunch time.
At 9.00am, around 30 pupils will descend on The Maynard to prepare their Christmas puddings under the watchful eye of The Maynard's chefs, teachers, and The Maynard's director Paul Downing, who first had the idea of inviting the children.
At lunch time the children will be joined by around 20 infants, aged up to 6 years old, who will then get their chance to make Christmas puddings in the afternoon.
Paul Downing, director at The Maynard, said: "As part of a rural community it is important for us to try and engage with all aspects of village life. The local village school is probably the single most important institution we have in the village, and it will be great to help them raise funds this year by assisting with the production of their Christmas puds.
"We're looking forward to what we are sure will be a day of great fun and excitement for all the children."
