AN AWARD-WINNING restaurant, based in both Ruthin and Llangollen's, virtual cocktail music fundraiser has raised more than £1000 for charity.

For 15 consecutive Fridays, Manorhaus put on a concert led by Christopher Frost who entertained Facebook live viewers via the piano.

The 'Manorhaus Friday Night Cocktail Music' sessions were set up to, not only keep spirits high in the community, but also to raise money for the Alzheimer's UK charity.

Ruthin Town Mayor Cllr Gavin Harris, who runs Manorhaus along with Christopher Frost and their staff members, said: "Can I just express our thanks to everyone that has donated. We have also had some cheques and direct donations to Alzheimer’s Society so the fundraiser has raised over £1,000. Huge thank you to you all for the support."

Established in 2002, Manorhaus provides two unique and dog-friendly boutique guest houses - the original based in Ruthin and the second one located in Llangollen - known as 'Townhaus'.

Between the two, Manorhaus has been recommended in the Michelin Guide, Welsh Rarebits, Good Hotel Guide, i-escape, Historic Hotels of Europe and Rick Steves Guide to Great Britain.

They have also been awarded TripAdvisor Hall of Fame status and been rewarded with a Certificate of Excellence.

Manorhaus Llangollen and Ruthin will both be re-opening on July 13, with strict guidelines in place to keep guests and staff safe as North Wales begins to return to a 'new normal' following the coronavirus pandemic..
