Get Ready to Donate! For Rutland's Grand Bottle Tombola Returns to the Rutland County Show 2025

Rutland residents are once again being called upon and contribute to a fantastic cause! 

For Rutland is gearing up for their Annual Grand Bottle Tombola, a much-anticipated event at the Rutland County Show on Sunday, June 1st, 2025.

This year promises to be another exciting opportunity to win some fantastic prizes while supporting the vital work of Citizens Advice Rutland. For Rutland, a dedicated fundraising group, works tirelessly to ensure that Citizens Advice Rutland can provide crucial non-medical advice to people of all ages living with long-term health conditions within Rutland and its surrounding community.

Last year's Grand Bottle Tombola was a resounding success, raising over an incredible £8,500. The dedicated volunteers at For Rutland are aiming even higher this year, but they need your help! Their success hinges on the generous donations of bottles of all shapes and sizes. Whether it's a bottle of everyday lemonade, a celebratory Lambrini, your favorite shampoo, a bottle of bubbly champagne, or even a relaxing bubble bath, every bottle donation is gratefully accepted.
