FORMER England badminton player Gail Emms is guest speaker as Marie Curie hosts its seventh annual 'Ladies Lunch' at Bradford's Midland Hotel.

Tables are still available to book at this year's event which is taking place on May 17 and which sees a change to its traditional three-course menu. Guests will be served an afternoon tea menu with Prosecco.

The fundraising event has raised over £110,000 since it was first hosted in 2013 and is a great opportunity for family and friends to get together and participate in raising money for the hospice.

The lunch starts with a drinks reception from 12pm and finishes at 4pm.

There will also be a tombola, raffle and auction with a number of excellent prizes on offer.

Tables for the lunch are available at £450 per table of 10.

Anyone wishing to book or to ask for further information can contact Clare Wood on 01274 386190 or email clare.wood@mariecurie.org.uk
