HALESOWEN Parish Church is putting on the Ritz this month to give worn out shoppers and workers a slice of old fashioned style.

On Saturday, May 18 St John the Baptist Church is holding a “Ritz Style” event complete with tea and music between 2pm and 5pm.

Sue Morgan-Salcombe, from the church events committee, said: “We want people to pop in rest their feet, sit and gather their breath, listen to the piano and enjoy tea served to the table. Admission £5.”

On Thursday, May 16 at 7.30pm the church is hosting an holistic evening when visiting therapists will be offering treatments including reiki, chair massage, mini manicures, facials and reflexology.

Treatments will cost from £10 and admission to the event is free.
