LITTLE LUXURIES WEEKEND
IN AID OF CANCER RESEARCH UK


A charity fundraising event is planned for Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th July at the Waters’ Edge Country Park & Visitors Centre in Barton Upon Humber.

The Little Luxuries Weekend is in aid of Cancer Research UK, specifically Breast Cancer, where many local businesses will have stalls including costume jewellery, cakes, handmade greeting cards and edible goods. Mums and Grandmas can visit the beautician offering mini-treatments while the kids can have their faces painted! There will also be a wood turner in attendance, a florist and many other stalls offering a range of luxury goods – at great prices!

Free entry, free parking, and free live music over the whole weekend! At 1pm on Saturday, Barton Community Band will perform at the front of the venue, with any kind donations also going to Cancer Research UK. On Sunday, ‘Steel the Rhythm' play at 12pm and 2pm, courtesy of Barton Tourism Group and their Performance in the Park season.

For all the regular visitors to the Waters’ Edge, there will be something new to discover, as lots of the stall holders have exhibited there before!

On Sunday, BBC Radio Humberside presenter Ruth Barcroft will draw the raffle which has fabulous prizes ranging from a signed Hull KR rugby ball, vouchers for local shops and restaurants, to a tour around the BBC TV & Radio Studios in Hull. Local businesses have donated scores of prizes, so supporters of Cancer Research UK can try their luck at only £1 for a strip of tickets!

Organiser Anna Ingram said "Come along for a great family event – support local business, and a great cause at the same time."

In the last few years, more women have been diagnosed with breast cancer than ever before. But there is good news. Thanks to research into earlier diagnosis and better treatment, more women are also surviving. Cancer Research UK’s work has revolutionised treatments for women with breast cancer. From the pioneering use of mammography in the 1960s, which dramatically improved early detection of the disease, to vital clinical trials of drugs such as Tamoxifen, their work has helped save thousands of lives.
