On Thursday 23rd June we were fortunate enough to play host to local charity, Stripey Stork’s, annual quiz night. We say annual, of course, but the past 2 years have seen the evening cancelled due to the emergence of Covid-19 and the rather large matter of an international pandemic. Nevertheless, the 2 year hiatus only helped build the excitement as we welcomed the team back again.

Exactly 100 guests took their seats for the quiz, dressed top to tail in stripes to support the charity’s annual campaign, Stripes 4 Stripey. Made up of supporters, volunteers and the team at Stripey Stork, the room was filled to the brim, creating a fantastic atmosphere. Questions on geography, British history, music, tv and more, challenged the teams through 8 separate rounds, ending with one team triumphant. The Belfry Brainiacs. Congratulations to them!

Regardless of who won, a huge thank you is needed not just to the winners but to everyone who came along, organised and helped raise an incredible £1600! Money that will be put to good use, supporting local families in Surrey. No doubt, the team at Stripey Stork will be back again next year.

Last week, Hartsfield Manor was delighted to have been awarded the Best Hotel in Surrey Award in the recent Muddy Stilettoes 2022 awards.
Now in their ninth year, the Muddy Stilettos Awards champion the very best lifestyle businesses across 28 counties, chosen by their discerning readers.

Giles Thomas, Operations Director for the Manor Collection hotel group said “These awards are not voted for by editors, mystery shoppers or selected influencers. Instead, they are chosen by Muddy Stilettos readers and hotel guests. This year 75,000 businesses were nominated across the country and 765,000 votes cast across the 28 Muddy counties. Making this year the biggest and best Muddy Awards to date. And we won one! Simply amazing.”

He went on to say “The hardwork each and every one of our team put in to ensuring our guests have the best experience possible has always been clear to us. But for our guests, people like yourselves, to take the time to vote for us, is simply amazing and we thank you so much for your support.”
