Trollope’s characters are always entertaining, so if you’d like to raise money for the Trollope Society, why not turn your entertainments into fundraising?

Entertain for Trollope

We’re asking you to hold drinks or dinner party, a picnic or even a garden party, inspired by Trollope. Just choose a Trollope entertainment, adapt it however you like, and ask your guests to make a contribution to the Trollope Society of the value they place on the entertainment.

Mr Toogood’s pot luck

Mrs Greenow’s picnic

Take your entertainment outside with a picnic or summer barbeque. Mrs Greenow’s picnic on the beach from Can You Forgive Her? might give you some ideas!

Raising funds

Don’t forget to ask your friends to donate to the Trollope Society, you can either collect the money and send a cheque, pay online, or set up an event on Just Giving or Virgin Money Giving, so your guests can donate online.

Why not post photos on the Trollope Society Facebook Page – we’d love to see your entertainment!
