Funeral directors will be exchanging their top hats for something a little bit different at the end of March to celebrate Wear A Hat Day 2020.
Hat wearers from Emsworth and beyond are invited to join colleagues at The Co-operative Funeralcare and Cafe Moka on Friday 27 March for cakes, coffee and hats.
Set to be the biggest, boldest and ‘hattiest’ yet, Wear A Hat Day is an awareness day for Brain Tumour Research
Funeral co-ordinators at The Co-operative Funeralcare – Emsworth decided to get involved this year and hold an event in memory of their colleague, Roger Gregory, who passed away from a brain tumour earlier this year.
Cath Walter, Funeral Co-ordinator, said: “Roger was a much loved colleague and friend so the event will mean we can give a special nod to a special man.
“We are really grateful to have Café Moka, in North Street on board as everyone can come and enjoy cakes whilst wearing a hat of their choice.
“Plus there will be plastic wrist bands and lapel badges to buy on the day. It’s time to put our best hats forward!”
The event will take place from 8am until 4pm on Friday 27 March.
The Co-operative Funeralcare – Emsworth is part of the local co-operative Southern Co-op which has a community engagement programme to help communities become greener, healthier, safer and more inclusive.
