Fans of the classic movie Grease can enjoy a summer night of outdoor cinema in support of hospice care.
The screening of the 1978 film is set to take place in Spetchley Park’s gardens, near Worcester, from 6.15pm on Saturday, August 31.
Organised by St Richard’s Hospice, the event is raising funds for the charity’s free care to patients with an illness which cannot be cured, their loved ones and bereaved people across Worcestershire.
Sofia Gunster, Events and Community Fundraising Lead, said: “This is our first outdoor cinema event and we’re so excited to welcome everyone for a fun movie night in the great outdoors.
“We’re inviting guests to come along in their finest Grease-inspired outfits, and there will be a prize for the best dressed. And, we hope everyone sings along to the timeless tunes throughout!
“So, pack your picnics, bring your camping chairs, and get ready for a fantastic evening raising funds for hospice care.”
Tickets include the outdoor cinema screening, popcorn on arrival and entrance to Spetchley’s gardens.
On the night, local businesses will be selling hot food, hot drinks, ice cream, and there will be a bar.
Dave Rawlings, Managing Director at event sponsor Oakland Air Control, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring St Richard’s Hospice’s first outdoor cinema event, which is going to be a wonderful fun occasion and a great opportunity to raise well needed funds for this hard working charity.”
