TEA for two at the House of Commons will be one of several prizes on offer at a charity dinner and auction of promises.

The Kingston Maurward Charitable Foundation, recently established as a charitable trust, will be hosting the event on Saturday, May 16.

The auction of promises will be lead by guest auctioneer Henry Simon.

The available prizes include: Having your own head gardener for half a day, a team building session for business associates or friends, tea for two at the House of Commons and a riding lesson at the college’s equestrian centre, plus others.

The fundraising event, the first of its kind run by the newly-formed foundation, will open its doors at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Tickets are £42 per person.

Please call Kingston Maurward College Hospitality on 01305 215050.

An event organiser said the college’s charitable foundation aimed to raise funds, through legacies, gifts, sponsorship and grants, to support the college’s work.

This will include providing funding to restore and maintain the college’s Grade 1 listed mansion as well as gardens and parkland.

The money will also fund bursaries for students with learning difficulties or other specific needs.
