Dozens of people attended the charity event at the For All Healthy Living Centre on the Bournville estate which raised £500 for the Bone Cancer Research Trust.
The trust provides support and care to those suffering from primary bone cancers as well as funding research into finding a cure.
Attendees were treated to a selection of homemade scones, cakes, and sandwiches, as well as a performance from Weston singer Kelly Griggs.
There was also a raffle with a top prize of two annual passes for the Grand Pier which was won by Pam Simpson.
