A CHARITY event is being held next weekend to raise funds for The Civic Hall in Stourport.
To event was the brainchild of a group of local businesses, Wyre Forest BNI, which has arranged a BIG fundraiser. It will see them cycle virtually, on the Civic stage, from Lands End to John O Groats.
The event will start at midnight on June 27 and run until June 28 so the distance can be completed.
From 11am to 11pm on the Saturday (June 28), there will also be a family fun day with magic, music, face painting /glitter and a bouncy castle, along with food vendors, sweet stands, donuts and the bar will be open.
The event is free to enter, there will be affordable table games and stalls including ‘human fruit machine’, palm/holistic reading, air golf, silent auctions, a ‘win everytime’ tombola for adults and children and Bulgarian dancing.
And there is a huge raffle at the event with all proceeds for the day going towards refilling the pot.
Challenges faced
The Civic Hall – a charity – is the hub of the town and is run by a band of volunteer trustees and volunteer workers, along with two employed staff who strive to put on varied and accessible live entertainment and theatre.
They ensure the venue is accessible to all and extend this welcome by hiring the venue privately for all events weddings to wakes, training and conferencing for businesses large and small.
The charity says the cost of living is effecting everyone and, as a result, the Civic is feeling the strain and the pot is running low.
Anyone wanting to support the Civic Group in its endeavours to maintain the venue is welcome to go along or sponsor through the QR code or by popping into the hall.
