A CHARITY is holding a mistletoe ball to raise money.

Colchester-based Headway Essex, which cares for people with brain injuries and their families, is holding the event at the Fennes Estate, Bocking, on November 27.

Guests will enjoy a three-course dinner, entertainment from Colchester magician, Michael J Fitch, and dancing.

There will also be a raffle to win a Nintendo Wii, a year’s golf membership and a signed Jamie Oliver cook book and apron.

There will be an auction for lots, including a stay in the five-star Mandarin Hotel, in Prague.

The ball is sponsored by Irwin Mitchell Solicitors, with all printing sponsored by Colchester Connected magazine.

Tickets are £60. Call Joanna or Mary Beverley on 01206 547616, or e-mail town.office@headway essex.org.uk
