FAQ's
How does the tour work?
The first step is to purchase your ticket! Then a couple of days before the event, we will email out to you an itinerary which will include a map of the house locations and decriptions of the houses. You will have both days to travel around in your own vehicles to view the houses once, in any order that you wish. (you can do the tour in one day or two).
When I have purchased my ticket, when and how will I get my itinerary?
Approximately one week before the event we will send you instructions of how to access the itinerary. You can print it off or use the digital copy to help you navigate your journey.
You will need to take your printed copy of the itinerary with you to every house. Once your ticket has been scanned, the hostess will stamp this to validate it and from then on, you only need to show the other hostesses your validated itinerary to gain entry to the houses. They will mark off the house numbers with vivid. You can only view each house once.

What do I do with my ticket?
You will need to take a copy of your Eventfinda Tour ticket to your first house only. This can be printed OR it can be shown on your smartphone. Show this to the hostess at your first house and they will scan it then issue you with an entry card for the remaining houses. At each house the hostess will mark your attendance on your entry card.
Can I return to a house for another visit?
Entry to each house is once only and your entry card will be checked off upon entry to each house
Can I take photos in the houses?
No photography is permitted (including with devices). Some tour visitors bring a notebook and pen to note down the details of those great ideas they spot.
Is the tour suitable for someone with reduced mobility?
Unfortunately not. These are private homes that have steps and stairs. Some have uneven ground or gravel paths. We advise taking care, and entry is at each ticket holders own risk.
How will I know about any updates or cancellations leading up to the tour?
You can follow us on Facebook or contact us via email at girlsclubfundraising@gmail.com
what happens to the money raised by The Girls' Club from the tour?
ALL proceeds go to North Haven Hospice. In 2009 the proceeds paid off the van used to deliver medical equipment to patients homes. The 2011 tour proceeds purchased a car for community nursing staff. The Rose garden was revamped into a peaceful retreat for patients and their families with the proceeds of the 2013 tour. 2015 tour proceeds replaced furnishings and the awnings providing shade to patients rooms. The 2017 House Tour proceeds went towards replacement of the carpet at North Haven Hospice.
Can I bring my children, even if they are on their best behaviour?
Unfortunatley we have to have a blanket 'no kiddies' rule. There are many reasons; the most important one to us is to ensure the homes of the generous home owners are as safe as can be.
