What a brave soul!! Kirsty Butterfield, Manager of the Rutland hotel took the plunge three times – all in aid of charity though of course!
Kirsty took part in the Triple whammy held at Magna Science Centre on Sunday 13th June in aid of the £1 million Cystic Fibrosis Appeal.

The event consisted of a 250ft Zip slide flying through the air at 25 miles per hour, an Abseil with a 150ft drop and finally a freefall jump into a Powerfan! The event was held in semi-darkness with music, dry ice and disco lighting!

Kirsty said “This was the scariest thing I have ever had to do! I had butterflies the night before thinking about it, but I knew all would be ok!” She continued “It was for our adopted charity Cystic Fibrosis which is a great cause, and one we are proud to support at the Rutland hotel”.

The money raised will help go towards building a 12 bed inpatient facility for Cystic Fibrosis sufferers at the city’s Northern General hospital.

Katey Dent Sales Manager commented “The Rutland has a long association with the medical sector and the hospitals in Sheffield, and we look forward to continue supporting such great causes into the future”.

Wedding belles were certainly in the air at the Rutland hotel for the Galaxy wedding of the year! The winners, the newly married couple Gemma and Richard Hurst, were short listed from hundreds of entrants at the Rutland hotels open event on May 9th. They had to be filmed in the ‘Love lounge’ giving reasons why they should win the wedding, and the listeners of the show voted for the best couple. On winning Gemma commented “Nothing like this ever happens to us, we are so happy!”.
Gemma and Richard then had only a week to finalise plans for the wedding. Gemma added “It’s been a whirlwind week; my feet haven’t touched the floor!”
The happy couple who live in Sheffield, won a full wedding package at the newly refurbished Rutland hotel, which included a scrumptious 4 course wedding breakfast, drinks package and evening BBQ. They also won the wedding dress, cake, rings and flowers – the full package!
Katey Dent Sales Manager at the hotel commented “The day was perfect, Gemma looked amazing in her Choola dress and the weather was just lovely. The hotel wedding function rooms have all been refurbished this year, and the room looked amazing where they had the wedding breakfast”.
The radio breakfast team attended the wedding at the hotel in 28th May, acting as master of ceremonies and joining the guests at the meal. A great day was had by all.
