Over 250 people attended a strawberry cream tea party in Netherfield yesterday (21) and helped raise over £3500 for a cancer charity.
The event, which was held at Netherfield Primary School, was organised by Sharon Ellis who arranges the tea parties each year to raise cash for the Breast Cancer Care charity after losing best friend Barbara Perston to the disease.
As well as a delicious strawberry cream tea, guests also enjoyed the Pimms tent, Co-Co Falls chocolate fountain and were entertained throughout the afternoon by soprano singer Lily Taylor-Ward, saxophone player Andy Cahill and magician David Fox.
Sharon managed to put together a team of over 50 volunteers to put on the event which included members of her family, friends and WI she runs in Netherfield.
