The Crown Trattoria and Bar in Thames Ditton is holding an auction on Sunday, February 14, to raise money for the people of Haiti.

Love for Haiti will be compered by TV presenter Henry Kelly and, as well as the auction, which will be hosted by Bobby Davro, there will be a champagne reception and music from cabaret singer Billy Nut.

Lots in the auction include a meal-for-two at a Marco Pierre White restaurant, cooking lessons with chef Jean-Christophe Novelli and two tickets to see Kelly Clarkson in concert at Wembley Arena.

James Dillon, who owns the Crown Trattoria and Bar, said: “The concept behind the idea for the event was seeing the tragedy that had befallen the people of Haiti and yet amidst all the devastation, you still saw images of hope, love and human kindness. That resonates with you and makes you want to do something worthy.”

The event starts at 2pm and tickets cost £25 for adults and £15 for children.

To buy a ticket, either visit the restaurant or call Mr Dillon on 020 8398 4381 or 07912 601966.
