International Women’s Day

Italian restaurant Cantina del Ponte located on Shad Thames is organising an event for International Women’s Day on March 8th – They will be celebrating ‘La Festa Della Donna’, in Italy known as an annual excuse for a girls’ night out on the tiles. They will be celebrating the occasion in true Italian spirit with a fabulous dinner, a line-up of topless waiters and Prosecco all round! Cantina del Ponte will be drumming up support for Marie Curie Cancer Care for the month before the fundraiser by adding a discretionary £1 to every bill to go to the charity.

The choice of ‘La Festa Della Donna’ as the focal point for Cantina’s fundraising for the Great Daffodil Appeal could not be more appropriate as it’s on this day each year in Italy that men traditionally give all the important women in their lives bunches of yellow flowers.

Tickets for the evening event on March 8 are now available at £50 per person inclusive of a glass of Prosecco on arrival, dinner and wine. A proportion of each bill will go to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
