AN evening of indulgence at the Mount Somerset Hotel and Spa in Taunton helped raise hundreds of pounds for charity.

The event, for ladies only, attracted more than 100 guests who enjoyed cookery demonstrations from Mount Somerset head chef Stephen Walker, floral demonstrations by Eden Flowers, hair demonstrations by Amanda Brook hair salon, a talk from Nuffield Hospital consultant Jasper Gill and a fashion show by designer Henry Hunt.

The evening raised £700 for St Margaret’s Somerset Hospice.
