Maryport mayor Linda Radcliffe is holding an afternoon tea for charity on Sunday.
She is promising a "proper" afternoon tea with sandwiches, scones and cakes, all for just a donation.
She said: "We are asking people to give as much as they think the event is worth."
The money will go to Barnardo's which has a centre in Maryport and Cash for Kids.
The afternoon tea will be held at All Souls Church on Church Terrace from 2pm to 5pm.
