A COUNTY club is asking people to put on their finery for a glamourous evening celebrating the King's Coronation later this year.

The Shropshire Club will mark 20 years of supporting Hope House Children's Hospice with a Coronation Ball on Saturday, May 6.

Those in attendance at Tern Hill Hall, near Market Drayton, will be asked to don their black ties and cocktail dresses for a glamorous event.

Mark Charman, chairman of The Shropshire Club, said: "This is the 20th year we will have been raising money for Hope House, and over the years we are proud to have donated more than £500,000. 

"This ball is the jewel in the crown of our fundraising efforts, but we’re only able to raise this amount thanks to people joining us and their generosity at our events.

"The Coronation Ball will be a night to remember so anyone who wants to join us for a fantastic night of fun and fundraising then please do get in touch."

The night will include food, drink, entertainment, dancing and auctions with Jeremy Lammond, and promises to make it a night to remember.
