THOUSANDS of pounds of diamonds will be on show at a unique event at a Ribble Valley hotel next week.

The Cassis restaurant at Stanley House Hotel in Mellor will host a ‘Champagne and Diamonds Evening’ on Friday, June 26, from 7.30pm, in the surroundings of the hotel’s award-winning fine dining restaurant.

Diamond-clad models from Leonard Dews will mingle with guests while they sip champagne by Perrier Jouet.

Oliver Cooke, general manager at Stanley House Hotel, said: “Our ‘Champagne and Diamonds Evening’ promises to be quite an occasion.

“I’ve been lucky enough to enjoy a sneak preview of the jewels to be displayed for us by Leonard Dews Diamonds in Blackpool and Lytham, and they certainly have the ‘wow’ factor.

“I would like to thank our champagne sponsors, Perrier Jouet, and the diamond experts from Chopard, for lending their support to the event.

“Tickets are already selling like hot cakes, so we’re all looking forward to a fantastic night ahead.”
