The Festival Players Charity Dinner and Dance takes place on Saturday 16 July at the Cambridge Union Society (behind the Round Church, near the ADC Theatre).

It will be a fantastic evening’s entertainment, with profits shared with The Samaritans.

The evening will begin with a drinks reception on the lawn outside the Union, followed by a three-course meal in the unique surroundings of the historic Debating Chamber.

While you enjoy your dessert, there will be an opportunity to bid in an auction of promises, led by TV’s David Palmer.

After dinner, we move to the Blue Room to dance the night away to the Festival Players Band, who will be playing tunes from the 60s to the present day.

Tickets for the event are £47.50 and can be purchased by emailing dinner@festivalplayers.org
