A HOSPICE for cancer sufferers is to benefit from a special performance by Richmond's Operatic Society this weekend.

Members will be singing favourite songs from West End shows, as well as from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas at the Operatic Hall on the town's Bargate from 7.30pm on Saturday.

All proceeds will go to St Teresa's Hospice, in Darlington.

Tickets, which cost £4 each, are available by telephoning (01748) 832092 or (01748) 850208.
