A sparkling drinks reception greeted 122 ladies for a charity lunch at Mitton Hall, in support of Derian House Children’s Hospice.

The annual Forget Me Not Ladies Lunch, which raised in excess of £6,000, was a day long event of fashion and beauty where guests could browse a range of items available to purchase before sitting down for a three course lunch. Guest speaker at the event was BBC Antiques Roadshow presenter and former fashion model, Margie Cooper.

Derian House head of fundraising, Susie Poppett said: ‘All the ladies enjoy it as it is a day of indulgence with fashion and beauty. We’re so thankful for those who support us year on year.’
