The Big Welsh Brew

Our twist on the classic tea break! Host your Big Welsh Brew on St David's Day, or any time throughout the year.

The Big Welsh Brew is an event hosted by you to raise funds for St David’s Hospice Care by inviting friends, family or colleagues and asking them to make a donation. The traditional tea break has been around for more than 200 years and is the perfect opportunity to enjoy some cake and a catch up. Despite the name, it can be as big or as small as you like!

Most people choose to hold their Big Welsh Brew around the beginning of March or on St David's Day, but you can choose your own date and host one any time in the year!

Top fundraising tips

Spread the word!
Tell people about your event! Send invitations, emails and use the power of social media. We've added posters and invitation cards into our fundraising pack for you to photocopy or cut out.

Hold a raffle
Everyone loves a raffle! You can sell tickets before the event as well as on the day. Ask local businesses to donate a raffle prize.

Match funding
Ask your employer or local bank if they will match fund the money you have raised.

Sell your bakes
Ask friends and family to bake and donate! You can sell a whole cake, cupcakes or Welsh cakes for your guests to take home. What a treat.

Invite a celeb
Know a local celeb, MP or dignitary? Invite them along and make sure to include them in any photography on the day, as well as your social media activity and post-event press release (with their permission of course!)

Host a quiz
Add some competitive spirit to your event and host a quiz. We've even added one into our fundraising pack to make it easier for you.
