What's On
Swanage Pier Big Summer Raffle
As part of our Summer Raffle this year, we have some fabulous prizes including an original painting by the local artist ‘Lucy’s Farm’.
We are delighted that Lucy has agreed to undertake this commission. Known mostly for her 'Moo Selfie' paintings, she is inspired by our beautiful coast and countryside as well as its curious four-legged residents! Lucy created the 'Moo 
Selfie at Swanage Pier' to help raise vital funds for supporting the work of the Swanage Pier Trust, the original painting is done in Oils and depicts the view of the pier from The Downs, looking out across to Ballard cliffs, with Lucy's signature photobombing 'Moo' and a rather cheeky Seagull.
Other fabulous prizes include:
Tickets are just £1 each, on sale at the Pier gate and shop, at Lucy’s Farm Shop and ONLINE
All proceeds raised go towards the ongoing maintenance of Swanage Pier.
The Draw will take place at midnight on Monday 28th August 2023.
