Tasty treats on offer as afternoon tea was served at a Wigan church

A Wigan church was transformed into a restaurant where afternoon tea was enjoyed by members of the community.

Guests were treated to cakes, sandwiches and even prosecco at St David’s Church, Haigh, all prepared and served by a team of volunteers.

Among those in attendance were Chris Ready and Laura Flynn, councillors for Aspull, New Springs and Whelley,

Coun Ready said: “It was great seeing some old friends. Having lived in the ward all my life and represented the ward for 30 years, events like this are very special to me. There was a wonderful atmosphere, great food and plenty of laughter. We even had the obligatory raffle, which I had the honour of helping Margaret Bishop with.”

Richard Thomas, from St David’s Church, thanked those who attended and said: “We really appreciated Chris’s kind words at the end about the work of our volunteers and what they do for the community.”
