A HOT tub, a holiday in France and a VIP day at the Antiques Roadshow are just some of lots going under the hammer at a charity auction in Worcestershire.

To launch the expansion of Noah's Ark Trust - the charity that supports bereaved children - into Herefordshire, an auction of promises will take place at Eastnor Castle on Friday, May 9.

Guests will be able to bid for lunch at Sotheby's, VIP tickets for Friday Night With Jonathan Ross and VIP tickets to a recording of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, as well as dinner, bed and breakfast and a round of golf at the Manor House at Castle Combe in Wiltshire.

Special guest at the black tie event will be the newest patron of the charity, celebrity hypnotist Paul McKenna.

There are 150 tickets available, at a price of £75 per person or £700 for a table of 10, from 01905 745735 or 07903 373144.

Sue Smith, fund-raising manager with the trust, said: "I'd advise people to buy their tickets soon as we anticipate they'll be snapped up quickly."
