An event in Barrow is giving people the chance to 'lock up' their bosses to raise money for a charity.

Taking place at Barrow Town Hall on Friday, November 8 from 10am, the event has been organised by St Mary's Hospice, which supports people across south Cumbria from its base in Ulverston.

The hospice is asking people to nominate their bosses for 'crimes' in the workplace, such as refusing to make cups of tea or standing out in the office for their poor fashion sense.

The bosses who get put forward will 'stand trial' for their misdemeanours, with their employees invited to come down on the day to see them stand in the docks.

In order to secure their release, those behind bars will have to raise their own bail money, all of which will be going to support the hospice with its work in the community.

After all the fun, a networking lunch will also be held, where people can connect with fellow colleagues, meet other businesses, and learn more about the hospice.
