A lively afternoon of cake, champagne and chatting was held at the Mere Court Hotel, Knutsford, raising £1,750 for the CRY for Matthew heart screening fund for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

A champagne reception greeted 90 ladies, who then enjoyed a ‘Tales from the Salon’ talk from celebrity hairdressers Royston Blythe and Nick Malenko.

Guests then indulged in afternoon cream tea and watched a fashion show which featured Forever Unique, designs by Seema Malhotra from The Real Housewives of Cheshire. The next charity events will be Ascot Ladies’ Day at Mere Court in June 2018 and their Gala Ball at The Grosvenor Hotel, Chester, in November 2018.
