ST Richard's Hospice is beginning its Christmas celebrations with its annual Snowdrop Ball.

The charity will be hosting the event at Worcester Sixways on Saturday, November 22, and is hoping local residents will come along to enjoy the night as tickets are still on offer.

Guests will be treated to some special St Richard’s hospitality and enjoy a three course meal followed by entertainment from the Soul Trader.

There will also be the chance to dance the night away with a Midlands Leisure disco, bid for an auction prize or take part in the St Richard's raffle and casino.

Rachel Jones, fundraising manager at St Richard’s Hospice, said: "There are just a few spaces available, and we are looking forward to another spectacular evening full of seasonal sparkle.

"This is the perfect way to join us as we celebrate our achievements during this, our 30th anniversary year of compassionate care.

"We are very grateful to Britannia Bennetts of Malvern and Western Power Distribution who are again sponsoring the event. We would also like to thank everyone who has donated items for the auction and raffle."

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

Tickets cost £50 each, with tables of 10 available. The evening starts at 7pm.

To find out more information, to donate a prize for the auction or raffle, or to book tickets please contact the hospice on 01905 763963.
