Sumptuous cuisine, side splitting comedy acts and an exclusive fashion show are just some of the treats on offer at a charity event being held on Thursday 23rd September to raise money for The Christie.

The glamorous 'Comedy and Couture' night is being held at Mere Golf and Country Club in Cheshire and is being organised by Christie governor Racheline Garston who lives in Hale. Racheline is one of The Christie's most prolific and successful fundraisers and has singlehandedly raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to help cancer patients.

As well as a champagne reception and delicious meal, this latest event will combine the talents of two stand-up comedians with a fashion show by the clothes boutique 'Plum' which is based in Hale. There will also be an autumn market selling the latest jewellery, skincare and beauty products and confectionary.

Racheline said; "I'm really excited about this event. The Mere Golf and Country Club is the perfect setting, the food will be mouth-watering and some of the unique gifts on offer will be perfect if you have any birthdays coming up or if you just want to treat yourself.

"Money raised will help fund some of The Christie's current developments such as its new £35 million patient treatment centre which will house the largest early clinical trials unit in the world, and its new radiotherapy centre in Salford which will allow people to be treated much closer to home."

Tickets for the event cost £60. For more information contact Racheline Garston on 07785 972 776 or community fundraising officer at the Christie charity Ste Anderson on 0161 918 7354
