PARENTS and their under fives are being invited to go bananas at NCT Trafford's Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party in Timperley on July 18 from 1pm to 3.30pm.

Face painting, arts and crafts and taster sessions from Jo Jingles and Lingotots will all be on offer at the party at Larkhill Centre, Thorley Lane, as well as a good selection of cakes.

The party costs £2 per child and is open to parents with babies and preschool children on a first come first served basis.

Money raised will go to support the work of the NCT (National Childbirth Trust) Trafford branch including funding an antenatal group at Styal Prison and the Little Bundles project – providing baby essentials to parents who find themselves in difficult situations.

The Cheeky Monkeys Tea Party is being run in partnership with Neil Barrett Photography (http://www.neilbarrettphotography.co.uk/) Tickets can be bought on the door.
