FANS of 007 will be flocking to a James Bond Experience, soon to be held in Ipswich for a good cause.

The Swallow Belstead Brook Hotel is hosting the fundraising night in aid of the Breast Cancer Campaign, on March 16 at 7pm.

Katie Allard said: "We are hoping to raise a minimum of £5,000 for the Breast Cancer Campaign on the evening, which will go towards the research into the treatment of this illness. It's an illness which has affected quite a few of us who work here, and our relatives.

"The theme of the evening is James Bond, and it is therefore a black tie and ballgown event. There will be a four-course meal, arrival drink, with an exclusive auction and more entertainment than you could ever imagine. Pathfinder Events is arranging the entertainment, which will contain a few surprises for the guests, and we are planning to have a celebrity guest too.

"We also have a great raffle lined up alongside the fantastic items on auction."

Tickets are limited, and are available at a price of £69.50 per person.

Katie added: "If you buy 10 tickets, we will give you two bottles of house wine absolutely free.

Accommodation for the night is also available at the reduced rate of £25 per person for bed and breakfast.

For more details, and to purchase tickets or book accommodation, call Vicki Elliott or Katie Allard on 01473 684241.
