The event, organised by Tesco at Serpentine Green, was held in aid of the Thorpe Hall hospice.

A total of 60 people turned up, raising £1,200 through ticket sales, and a further £405 with events on the day.

Sharron Toms , Tesco Community Champion, said: “The afternoon proved that tea, cake and community spirit can make a powerful combination - bringing people together while raising a tremendous sum for a worthy cause.

“From last minute panics over China to singing, dancing ,quizzing , raffles and chatting the afternoon away and I couldn't be prouder. Community at its best !”
