A CHELMSFORD tea room will be getting its best china out to help raise money for charity whilst honouring the Queen’s 90th birthday.
The Secret Garden Tea Rooms at Writtle Road Nursery is hosting a ‘Bit of a Royal Do’ on Saturday, June 18 from 11am.
All money raised at the charity event will be going towards Little Havens Hospice which cares for life-limited children and their families from across Essex.
Customers are encouraged to wear regal fancy dress with prizes for the best costumes.
There’ll also be fairground-type games such as Hook a Duck, Splat the Rat, Name the Teddy and Find the Crown Jewels!
Jane Wickes, Manager of The Secret Garden Tea Rooms said: “We can’t wait to mark this royal occasion in a very traditional way.
"he fact we’re raising money for Little Havens at the same time is the icing on the cake!”
Little Havens is the children’s hospice for the whole of Essex, caring for babies, children and teenagers with life-limiting illnesses, as well as supporting their families.
All of this care is completely free of charge, but can’t continue without the generosity of local communities.
The charity needs to raise £46,000 every week.
