A GIRLY afternoon of shopping, pampering and indulgence is on offer in aid of a leading North East charity.
Sunderland-based Hope 4 Kidz – which supports youngsters with a range of special needs – is hosting Handbags and High Tea at the Newcastle – Gateshead Hilton Hotel on Saturday November 21.
The event, running from 2pm until 5pm, will give attendees the opportunity to shop at a range of unique stalls, buy Christmas gifts, test out beauty treatments and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea.
Also organised for the day are a range of raffles and auctions, with everyone who attends being entered into a free draw for a mystery prize.
Guests will also be given the opportunity to see the extensive spa facilities at the hotel and find out more about the treatments on offer.
“Handbags and High Tea was a huge success for us last year and we’re delighted to be repeating it in a new area and venue” said Viv Watts, who runs Hope 4 Kidz.
“It’s a fantastic setting, we’ve got some great stalls and it’s a real opportunity to indulge in a spot of pampering, retail therapy and Christmas shopping, all while helping a good cause.”
All proceeds from Handbags and High Tea will go to support Hope 4 Kidz’s free Santa’s Christmas Party, attended by children from across the North East suffering from mental or physical disabilities, long term illness or poverty and abuse.
Since it was established in May 2007 the charity has helped 33,000 children by hosting events like this to help raise funds.
Tickets for Handbags and High Tea are priced £15.95 each, including the tea and a goody bag for all attendees.
