And even if some of the acts are not your cup of tea, we’ve got you covered, because Platform 2 will be our disco room on the night, so you can just dance the night away to familiar tunes if you’d prefer! All of this for just £5!

This is a charity fundraiser party and the money we raise will be supporting 2 fantastic charity organisations – Music Venue Trust (MVT) and Hammersley Homes. Hammersley Homes’ mission is to provide permanent support for adults who live with enduring mental health challenges and struggle with daily life.Music Venue Trust acts to protect, secure and improve Grassroots Music Venues. These venues have played a crucial role in the development of British music over the last 40 years, nurturing local talent, providing a platform for artists to build their careers and develop their music and their performance skills.

Add to that the 6 fantastic original music acts, a DJ / Disco room, and an hour of live party music from The Bandwagon, you can be confident that it will be £5 well spent!
