Thank you very much to everyone who came and supported our music event on 21st August. We’re all really pleased that it went so well, and we’ve had quite a few messages of thanks, so we think everyone had a great night! Even the weather managed to help us out, just in the nick of time though!
It was a lot of work to organise and deliver the event and we are so glad that it went well. Not only did everyone have a brilliant Queen and ABBA evening, but we also managed to make £8,000 for the Farley Hospital charity! This is an amazing outcome, and the funds are going to make a huge difference in our ability to safely look after the building.
