A delightful evening of beautiful music, spoken word performance, and an array of street food and other stalls is set to take place at The Bradford Hotel on Saturday, 8 October from 6pm to 11pm.

The purpose of the event is to raise funds for the Pakistan emergency floods relief effort and the money will be used to provide much needed shelter and aid to those who are vulnerable and in need of immediate help.

All the donations made during the night will be sent to Families Relief, an international charity that provides emergency aid across the world. A raffle is also being organised with some spectacular prizes to be won, all for this very important cause.
