The Gibbon Bridge Hotel and Restaurant, Chipping, in the beautiful Ribble Valley held a Charity Ball in aid of Save The Children on December 2nd. 

An evening of fine dining and dancing helped raise funds for the Charity through contributions via a fabulous raffle and an auction of stunning items. The event was generously supported by a number of local businesses and individuals, many of whom also attended the event.
