MARIE Curie fundraising volunteers from Wilmslow are staging a Christmas Ladies Lunch at the Deanwater Hotel on Friday, November 17.

There will be a variety of gift stalls, selling jewellery, handbags and plenty of inspiration for Christmas gifts.

There will also be the chance to win some fantastic prizes in the raffle.

Tickets are £30, which includes a drink on arrival, a festive two- course meal with tea and coffee and a well-known speaker.

The organisers are inviting friends, family and colleagues to come along for an enjoyable afternoon out, while raising money for Marie Curie.

The proceeds of the lunch will go towards supporting the local Marie Curie Nurses who give practical nursing care to patients in their homes, 24 hours a day, free of charge.

The Deanwater Hotel is in Wilmslow Road, Stockport, and the lunch will be held at 11.30am.
