THE Caribbean came to a North-East wine bar when a travel company held a beach party.

Party-goers descended on Yates Wine Bar, in Durham City, for Hays Travel's annual fundraising event, in aid of Dryburn Hospital's baby unit.

Temperatures reached boiling point as everyone got into the holiday mood and joined in the beach party games.

Charlotte Anne Reeves from Durham City, and her boyfriend Lewis Silmon, won the star prize of £125 holiday vouchers.

The event raised £621 for the baby unit, and Hays staff said they were thrilled with the response.
