This coming week there are many events taking place in Herefordshire and elsewhere under the banner - World's Biggest Coffee Morning.
The aim is simple - to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.
In Herefordshire we like to go one better than to celebrate the World’s Biggest Coffee Morning on just one day. Of course Herefordshire and Hospitality go hand in hand. To celebrate the amazing contribution made by all the county’s Macmillan nurses, our supporters and fundraisers, the invitation is being extended across the whole week. Be sure to take a break during the week and enjoy some local flavours at one (or more!) of these venues open to the public. Some of the venues are offering a coffee morning on several days. It’s a great excuse to visit a new part of the county and to raise valuable funds to support people living with cancer in Herefordshire.
