Guests will enjoy a drinks reception followed by a three-course meal and live entertainment from several exciting acts, as well as a charity auction with money-can’t-buy prizes.

The evening will be hosted by Jimmy Constable of 911 and the MC of the night will be radio presenter and event host, Kev Lawrence. There will also be special guest performances from magician Paul Martin, singers Steve Charles and Kenny Thomas and comedian Kev Orkian.

Angela Hyde, Chair of the Action Medical Research Peterborough Committee, says: “We’re delighted to welcome back our loyal supporters to this special evening hosted by Jimmy Constable of 911 and Kev Lawrence at the helm as MC.

This will be a much-needed chance to laugh and party the night away with your friends and tickets are already selling fast.”
