Center Parcs is offering a fabulous auction prize for the glittering event.

A spokesman for the leisure firm said the prize consists a three-night weekend or a four-night weekday break for a family of up to six, in one of the newly-styled woodland lodges at Elveden Forest in Suffolk.

The spokesman added: “Center Parcs is proud to again be involved with the Suffolk Press Ball.

“As one of the largest employers in the county it is great to be able support a local event and hopefully in some way help a very worthy cause.

Held at the sumptuous Hotel Elizabeth, Copdock, on June 19, the Ipswich and Suffolk Press Ball attracts the cream of the county's business community and raises thousands for charity.

Music, dancing, fine food and wines will be followed by an auction and tombola with prizes donated by a number of businesses and organisations with this year's chosen charity the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Headline acts will include rock legend and soul sensation Ray Lewis of The Drifters fame who will perform at the Soul Ball themed night of nights.

Regularly and strongly supported by the county's business community, the Press Ball is once again sponsored by Ipswich firm Call Connection.

Further information can be found about Cystic Fibrosis on the website www.cftrust.org.uk. Help and advice for those affected by Cystic Fibrosis is available through the Cystic Fibrosis Helpline on 0845 859 1000.
