Every hot drink sold throughout the day will go to the charity, with the cakes all fitting in with the Macmillan theme – open from 10am to 4pm, catch up over a cuppa, enjoy some treats – and help raise money so that no one will have to face cancer alone.

The World’s Biggest Coffee Morning started in 1990, with thousands being raised locally and over £200m for Macmillan nationally, enabling it to support individuals from diagnosis, through treatment and beyond.

Along with a vast selection of Macmillan themed cakes and endless coffee, there will be a raffle with ‘fantastic’ prizes.  Enter to win a basketfull of tea room and nursery goodies (worth over £50).  Raffle tickets are available now from Purdy’s – so if you can’t make the event you can still take part by buying a ticket for £1 from the tea room.

Purdy’s Owner Stuart Morton, said ‘Taking part in the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning provides us with an opportunity to show our support to the fantastic Macmillan nurses and give thanks for all of the incredible work they do – We are now into our 7th coffee day at Purdy’s and it’s set to be a great day and we hope to see lots of people from the local community here on the day’

 ‘Please come along and enjoy a fun-filled day and raise money for a good cause.’

Apologies but due to the current situation we have decided to cancel the Mother's Day afternoon tea.
