Despite the louring skies on Saturday, The Salisbury Museum's Members' Garden Party was a huge success at the stunning Walton Canonry, former home of Rex Whistler. Guests enjoyed prosecco, afternoon tea, and traditional games overlooking the water meadows and cathedral, and some even risked soggy bottoms whilst punting! Thank you to our Chair of Trustees for hosting, to Salisbury Punting for our jaunts up and down the river, but a special thanks to all our guests for coming, and contributing to this fundraising event.
