An auction of promises to raise money for The Blue Cross could see winning bidders becoming real high flyers.

The event will be held at The Carpenter's Arms in Fulbrook, near Burford, and lots to bid for include a trip with the RAF on an exclusive air to air refuelling flight, a tour of the Williams Formula 1 Factory, a bungee jump, a tour of the gardens at Highgrove House and a portrait of your pet.

Tickets are £35 (includes a four-course gourmet meal). All profits from the bidding and £5 from every ticket sold will go towards helping homeless pets at the Blue Cross animal adoption centre in Burford.

For more information or to book tickets please contact the centre on 01993 822483 or The Carpenters Arms on 01993 823275.
