Ribby Hall Village, Wrea Green, was the location for a celebration of International Women’s Day, hosted by Pink Link Ladies.

More than 100 guests networked while browsing 30 different exhibition stands, before enjoying a three course lunch. Rebecca Jane known as ‘The Lady Detective’ then interviewed the event’s guest speakers, Melanie Doyle of MelvicMakeup and entrepreneur Jayne Hynes, who both inspired the ladies with their stories. Nearly £300 was also raised for Breast Cancer Care.

Coral Horn, managing director of Pink Link, said: ‘It was fabulous to welcome so many new visitors from across the region. We are extremely pleased with the positive feedback and attendees left inspired and energised from the day.’
