Bolton Hospice’s much‑loved Ladies Lunch returned this week, bringing together supporters from across the community for an afternoon of style, celebration, and fundraising - all set against the stunning backdrop of Rivington Barn.

Guests enjoyed a delicious three‑course meal, browsed a selection of boutique shopping stalls, and took part in exciting raffles and fundraising activities throughout the afternoon. One of the highlights of the event was a vibrant fashion show by Buttons Boutique, showcasing the latest looks and giving attendees plenty of inspiration for the season ahead.

The Ladies Lunch is one of Bolton Hospice’s most popular annual events, and this year’s gathering once again demonstrated the incredible generosity and spirit of the local community.

Every ticket purchased, every raffle entered, and every item bought from the stalls helps raise vital funds to support the hospice’s specialist, compassionate care for local people facing life‑limiting illnesses.

This year’s Ladies Lunch was generously sponsored by Stateside Foods, whose support helped make the event possible. Their contribution ensured guests could enjoy a memorable experience while maximising the funds raised for the hospice’s specialist care.

Monies are still being counted, and the grand total raised by this year’s Ladies Lunch will be announced shortly.
