Join us for our fabulous ladies' lunch with the divine Davina McCall.
Treat yourself to a glass of bubbly at the drinks reception and take the opportunity to have your photo taken with Davina. Partake in some retail therapy from the beautiful stalls, then join us for a delicious 3-course lunch with an exclusive opportunity to hear from Davina. Fun, games and laughter followed up with live entertainment and a day you won’t forget!
Raise money for Action!
As well as hearing from Davina the afternoon will be filled with fun and games along with incredible prizes to be won and money-can’t-buy items in our Live Auction hosted by the charismatic Edward Rising. All raising money for children’s charity Action Medical Research.
Returning for 2023 is former Butlins Redcoat and winner of the Funny Women Award, Suzy Bennett. She made us laugh so much we just had to have her back!
Opening this year's event will be the very talented Jax Hall with her ‘Inspired by Adele show’, performing some of the greatest hits from Adele's chart storming albums and then we'll be 'Dancing Queens' with one of the UK's premier Abba Tribute Band - ABBA's ANGELS! Having appeared on BBC TV's The One Show, SKY1 & Sky News as well as performing all over the UK, Europe and the Middle East to crowds of up to 10,000. We are beyond excited!
To finish off we’ll have a DJ for the after-party and every guest goes home with an exclusive gift bag.
