A touch of Bublé Time at ladies' lunch in heart of Somerset to ensure "It's a beautiful (fundraising) day" for children's charity

On Friday 9 October the Tithe Barn, Haslebury Mill, Somerset is the beautiful venue for the fourth annual DIVA Lunch held to support children's charity Action Medical Research.

The popular Somerset event has grown over the last three years and organisers are hoping that around 200 women will attend this year's Diva Lunch. Sponsored again by Old Mill, Paula Hodge, Head of Financial Planning from Old Mill comments, "Old Mill were delighted to sponsor the Diva lunch again this year, a number of our staff are passionate about supporting such a worthwhile charity and also to be part of the woman's business community in South Somerset." The main target audience is professional women in business and high net worth individuals from the Somerset & Dorset region and the charity aims to raise £6000 to support its work.

Over the course of the afternoon, attendees can look forward to a Star prize draw which incorporates three or four high quality prizes and aims to raise approximately £1500 at the event.

Doors to the event open at 11.30am and there will be an opportunity to browse six stalls as well as indulge in a spot of pampering on the "beauty balcony" where there will be free manicures and hand massages.

For many the highlight of the afternoon will be Bublé Time, Europe's Premier Michael Bublé Tribute Show. Michael Bublé is famous for songs like "It's a Beautiful Day" and "Haven't met you yet".

By the end of the event, "not meeting anyone" is a problem that should not be relevant to anyone in the room as the event provides a perfect chance for a get together with the girls, a fabulous meal and an opportunity to let your hair down!
