Attendees will receive:
● A round of mini-golf at Putt in the Park

● An opportunity to support cancer awareness in the community
Tickets cost £25 per person and businesses can register as a team of four or attend individually.
Toby Freeman, founder and CEO of The Robin Cancer Trust said: “We’re delighted to bring local businesses together for Putt & Connect.
