Beginning at 7.30pm, it includes a three-course meal followed by after-dinner music, with dancing, from The Dee Dowling Band.

Money raised from ticket sales, an auction and tombola will be added to money collected throughout the mayor's year in office and split between charities, including the Butterwick Hospice and the Royal National Lifeboat Institute.

Tickets for the event, in the Alexander Suite at Tall Trees, Yarm, are priced at £32. For details, or to request a reservation form, contact Susan Walton on (01642) 528161.
