Stump Cross Caverns reaches £50,000 goal
Stump Cross Caverns has reached its crowdfunding target of £50,000 — and the popular limestone cave system will reopen in May.
Owner Lisa Bowerman launched the campaign last month by raffling off her prized camper van to raise vital funds.
Lisa told the Stray Ferret launching the crowdfunder had been “the most nerve-racking thing I’ve ever done”. But the response has shown how much the ancient caves, at Greenhow Hill, are loved.
With 15 days to go, the fundraising appeal target has been extended to £60,000.
A draw for the winner of the camper van will take place on March 31 and the caverns will reopen on May 17.
