A Winchester hotel is inviting people to show they care by attending a midsummer ball organised to support people everywhere who care for someone ill or disabled.

The "black tie and posh frock" event will be staged at the Macdonald Wessex Hotel on Friday, June 20th, and money raised will go to the Princess Royal Trust for Carers.

Macdonald Hotels say it has already raised £300,000 for the trust nationally and now hopes to help the Winchester branch.

Before the ball, there's a cocktail reception and a four-course dinner.

For further details, ring the hotel on 01962-861611.
