TG's day of fun is all in support of Giving to Pink's Turn Cwm Taf Pink Day which aims to raise awareness and funds for a specialist breast care unit in the Cwm Taf Health Board.

Planning to pop down? Here's what you need to know...

1: First and Foremost: WEAR PINK

The aim is to turn TG PINK for the day. So, ladies, get your pink outfits at the ready. And gents, it’s time that old pink tie saw the light of day…

2: Launch Breakfast at Frankie & Benny’s – 8am until 12pm

Frankie and Benny’s will open the day’s festivities with a tasty charity breakfast.

Instead of paying for the meal, you can choose to donate the value of your breakfast to Giving to Pink. Breakfasts start from as little as £3.95 and unlimited tea and coffee can be added for an additional £1.95.

TOP TIP: remember to bring cash along as donations cannot be made by card!
