A WORCESTER hospice is urging people to get their glad rags on and party the night away at a fundraising summer ball.

St Richard's Hospice is holding the glamorous 1920s themed event at Malvern College, in Malvern, on Saturday, July 2.

Guests will enjoy a three-course meal followed by live music from trio Silhouette, who will take the crowd back to the 1920s with a mix of jazz, swing and rat pack music to tempt guests onto the dancefloor.

Those attending can also bid for one of the many auction prizes on offer, or try their luck in the raffle and casino.

Rachel Jones, fundraising manager at St Richard’s Hospice, said; “This promises to be a fabulous night with everyone dressing up and looking glamorous, perhaps in 1920s fashion if you so wish.

"We are very grateful to the St Richard’s Hospice Business Patrons who are sponsoring this event and to Malvern Events at the Malvern College for providing the venue free of charge.

"The money raised by the event will be used to ensure that St Richard’s Hospice can continue to care for patients with life-limiting illnesses and support their families.”

Tickets cost £55, to include a drink on arrival, three course meal, live entertainment and casino. Guests can also enjoy a discounted stay at the Abbey, in Malvern.
