"We would like to thank our generous event sponsors Readhead Associates and DMB Wealth Management which means that events costs are covered and all money raised can be used to support Hospice patients and their families.

"Thanks also to Maria and her team at The Place in the Park for having us back each year.”

The event starts and finishes at The Place in the Park with the fun getting underway from 10am.

Music and entertainment is set to be provided by Gavin Lancaster of Higham Discos and hospice mascot Alice Mouse will be making a guest appearance.
