More than £1,000 has been raised for a number of charities through a sold out afternoon tea event.

Hosted by the chair of Oxfordshire County Council, councillor Alison Rooke, the fundraiser took place at the Earth Trust in Little Wittenham and raised a total of £1,100.

These funds will be donated to Ms Rooke's chosen charities - My Vision Oxfordshire, Parkinson's UK and the Earth Trust.

Attendees included the vice lord lieutenant, Lynda Atkins, mayors and council chairs and representatives from each charity along with many members of the public.

Guests could choose to take part in a tour of the Earth Lab, a guided walk through the arboretum or a talk hosted by comedy script writer Paul Mayhew Archer.

Afternoon tea was followed by a raffle, and Ms Rooke thanked all those who contributed to charity.
