A COMPANY based in Euxton is to transform a 16th-century manor house hotel for a Hollywood-style charity event early next year.

John Reilly Civil Engineering, of Euxton Lane, Euxton, is holding the black-tie event to raise money for the Cancer Research Campaign.

It takes place at the Stirk House Hotel, Gisburn, on January 19 2002.

Roof-top search lights will guide guests into a lavish champagne reception.

Then, during a four-course feast, a look-alike Frank Sinatra will serenade diners with classic songs.

Michael Reilly, who with his brothers John and David founded John Reilly Civil Engineering Ltd almost 16 years ago, said: "We are pulling out all the stops to make this the premier event of its kind."

Tickets for the event are £75 per person, and include all drinks.
