Talented watercolour artist Mary Ann Rogers is hosting a charity lunch next month at Hexham's Beaumont Hotel.

The event, which is set to include a three-course meal and wine for the price of £35, will raise much needed funds for Tynedale Hospice at Home.

During the event, Mary Ann will be sharing the story of her artistic journey and inspirations.

She will also be giving a small taste of the techniques that she uses to create her art.

Tynedale Hospice at Home Fundraising Manager, Cathy Bates, said: “Tynedale Hospice at Home is a cause that Mary Ann Rogers has chosen to support this year with a series of fundraisers after experiencing care services from the Hospice for a family member.

"Lunch at the Beaumont is already a successful event and we hope this twist will be popular with a new audience as well as our regulars."

All proceeds that are generated from the lunch will be donated to Tynedale Hospice at Home.

For those interested in attending, the lunch takes place on November 8 and tickets can be procured from tynedalehospice.com or by phoning 01434 606444.
