A COUPLE are hoping to win their dream wedding in a fundraising competition in aid of a renowned hospice charity.

Claire Beresford and Pete Thompson, who live in Northallerton, are taking part in the Butterwick Win-a-Wedding competition, which requires people to raise money in imaginative and daring ways.

They are preparing to hold two events with the help of Daisy Doodle Paint a Pot Parlour in Northallerton in what they hope will win them the prize.

The couple who manage to raise the most money by the end of October will win a £10,000 wedding to be held at Bowburn Hall Hotel in March.

Claire Beresford said: “Winning would mean so much as we have been together for a few years and have a little girl but affording a wedding has not been possible up until now.

“It has been hard to fit it into our lives due to jobs but we have had fun with it and have enjoyed hosting the events so far.”

Claire has done a charity skydive and Pete is due to do an abseil off the transporter bridge this month.

An adult themed pottery night will be held on October 16 and a family event will be held on October 29 at the parlour.
