RESIDENTS in Worcestershire are being urged to tuck into fine food with friends at a bar brasserie to raise cash for county people with life-threatening illnesses.

Epic, in Dunhampton, near Droitwich is holding a fund-raising evening on Friday to help raise money for St Richard's Hospice, based in Rose Hill, Worcester.

The event includes a delicious three-course supper and sounds from local musicians the Silver Tones.

One of the event organisers, Sally Young said: "It will be a great evening held in a lovely setting.

"We are very grateful to Epic owner Patrick McDonald, for his continued support.

"We recently had a very successful Ladies Who Lunch event here in aid of St Richard's Hospice.

"What could be nicer than a delicious supper while raising money at the same time?"

Tickets cost £25 and are available by contacting St Richard's on 01905 763963.
