Two charities will benefit from a fundraising event held by Sandbach Mayor, Councillor Kathryn Flavell.

Music lovers were invited to don their 80s gear at the 'Back to the 80s' night at Sandbach Cricket Club in Hind Heath Road last Friday.

The event, which featured the band Hello Felix and an 80s disco, was enjoyed by an enthusiastic audience despite it being the first weekend of the May Bank Holidays.
