Steam at the Chequers in Orwell raises £545 for charity

The event raised £545 in total, which will go towards The Kite Trust and NICU Foundation.

Organiser Tina Cheng thanked James and Craig for providing music, Elite Eats Cambridge for providing food and Nick, Val, Clive, Jacqui, Rob and Wayne for providing the vintage vehicles - as well as everyone who took part in the karaoke and open mic singing.

She said: "Without the support we wouldn’t have been able to raise half as much money.

"We are planning on making August Bank Holiday bigger and better so watch this space."

The next event at the Chequers will be a quiz at 8pm on Wednesday, June 19.
