Around 150 guests enjoyed fine food and wines before hearing from Jon Corner the founder of River Media and Claire Walker of Merseyside ACME. Live harp music added to the ambience.

Chester Racecourse was the venue in the evening for the Hollyoaks Charity Ball. The star studded event was organised by Lime Pictures to raise funds for Claire House and The Alder Hey Imagine Appeal - A staggering £20,000 was raised over the two events.

Carley Stenson opened the show superbly, while Kym Ryder and a host of others put together an amazing set. The inaugural Hollyoaks Ball in Chester, proved to by a fantastic event.
