Hats off to the organisers

Grab that fabulous hat of yours, it’s time for a charity event with a twist!

It’s all about hats, bubbles and afternoon tea next month as the Mad Hatters Tea Party in aid of Cork ARC takes place.

Describing it as “a novel fundraiser”, organisers are busy putting everything in place for the event which is in aid of Cork ARC Cancer Support House.

The organisers said: “All you need is a hat and a ticket to Cork's own Mad Hatter’s Tea Party! And even if you don’t wear a hat, then there will be plenty to choose from as milliner Celestine McCoy of Hattitude Kinsale will have a fabulous array of headpieces on show at the event. The Prizes kindly donated by Cork Laser Clinic, The Montenotte Hotel and Designer'd.”

Organised by Cork ARC Board Member Rhona Higgins, the event will raise funds to provide support services for cancer patients in Cork.

The charity event will take place at the Glasshouse in The Montenotte Hotel on Thursday 14 March from 4pm-6pm. Tickets are €70 and available from Cork ARC.

Cork ARC is a safe haven for people with cancer and their families, where you can find information, practical help and emotional support. Whatever stage of your cancer journey, you are not alone.

If you are a cancer patient or someone close to you has cancer, Cork ARC can offer specialist professional support ranging from counselling to pilates classes to information on social welfare.
