A TASTY treat for curry fans is on offer at a special charity evening in Worcester in aid of St Richard's Hospice.

The owner of Monsoon restaurant in Foregate Street is holding a banquet buffet to raise money for the charity on Wednesday, October 26,

All the proceeds from the evening will be donated to St Richard's to help fund their care of patients and families living with cancer and other life-limiting illness. The new hospice will include all the current services plus 15 urgently needed specialist beds.

Director of fund-raising for St Richard's, Marilyn Peachey, said: "We are delighted that Monsoon has generously offered to hold this lovely buffet banquet.
