Irwin Mitchell Hosts Event to Help Support Local Charities

More than 50 children from across Cambridgeshire and Suffolk were the centre of attention at a special charity fun day hosted by law firm Irwin Mitchell for local charities Little Miracles and Brainwave.

The highlight of the day, held at the Hilton Hotel in Cambridge, was a show by professional children’s theatre company, Blunderbus, who performed the magical fairytale, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, using a creative mix of music, puppetry and story-telling.

With over 100 people in attendance, there was a great atmosphere. Prior to the show, guests were treated to lunch and fun activities, including face painting and balloon modelling.
