A “fantastic” afternoon tea party held at Hanging Heaton Cricket Club has raised over £3,000 for a breast cancer charity.

The event, which took place on Saturday, August 29, involved plenty of cakes and refreshments, a BBQ and a raffle, raising £3,100 for Breast Cancer Now.

The club’s cricketers, who were playing Bowling Old Lane on the same afternoon, wore pink caps in support of the charity, while pink wickets were also used.

Andrea Wilson, who helped to organise the afternoon tea party event with a band of volunteers, said:

“It was fantastic - every single minute of it. There were loads of people there and everybody was so generous.

“It was unbelievable.”

Take a look at these photos from the event.
