THE Cheshire branch of the Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) is to hold its annual lunch and auction at Colshaw Hall Country Estate, Over Peover on Sunday, March 3.

Sponsored this year by Savills, the event is well-established and popular in the county.

The money raised will go towards the GWCT's research into wildlife management and the future of our countryside.

Pippa Hackett, GWCT regional organiser for the north west, said: "We are very pleased to be holding this very popular lunch in March at Colshaw Hall.

“It is always a hugely enjoyable event and a great opportunity to get together to show our support and passion for the countryside."

The ticket price is £60 per head, or £600 for a table. To book your place, or for more information, please contact Deborah Sellars at cheshire@gwct.org.uk
