Funds raised at the event will go towards Mencap, which supports people with learning disabilities, and the Acorn Children’s Centre, in Beridge Road, Halstead, which provides families with groups and activities, advice and guidance.
Entertainment will be provided by will be provided by The Accidentals.
They will be backed by the jazz band Flat Broke and sing anything from The Andrews Sisters to Abba, Gershwin to Lady GaGa, though they lean towards the easy listening scale of golden oldies, so the evening is bound to go with a swing.
