About

Please consider sponsoring a gnome this year. A gift of £25 or more will make a huge difference in our ability to put on a fantastic weekend and will raise much-needed funds for the school.

The ESA have been hosting this event for over 12 years, and usually welcome around 1200 people to the village. Last year’s hunt raised over £3000! This year, we’re expecting an even bigger crowd due to the July date.

The Eastcombe School Association is a registered charity (no. 1107187).

For businesses, in return for your generosity, we invite you to promote your business to visitors from all across Stroud and beyond: our team will create a custom gnome display specially for you. All sponsors will receive a charitable donation receipt.

And we invite families to sponsor a gnome too - make it a family activity and create your own gnome display at home!

A successful event will ensure that the school can continue to offer an outstanding learning environment in the classroom and provide enrichment activities beyond the national curriculum.

Our current goals are improving early years outdoor learning provision, funding props and scenery for the school play and running field trips and visits to the pantomime or circus despite huge increases in transportation costs.
