Football legend Emile Heskey is set to headline a charity evening in Calverton.
The event, organised by the charity Rainbows Hospice, will take place on October 9 at 360 Bar and Grill on Main Street.
Rainbows cares for hundreds of families every year who have a baby, child or young person with a serious or terminal illness that means that their lives will be shorter than most.
All funds raised will go to the hospice.
Emile is a former English professional footballer, playing for a number of teams and making more than 500 appearances in the Football League and Premier League throughout his two decade-long career. Just a few of the teams he has represented include Leicester City FC, Liverpool FC and the England national football team. He played as a striker and became known as a powerful target-man for his pace and physical strength.
Ticket holders will have the chance to hear a talk from Heskey and take part in a live Q&A. There will also be photo opportunities. Guests will also receive an Indian meal from 360 Bar & Grill — where bold flavours meet vibrant hospitality.
Tickets are £75 per person OR £275 for a table of four.
A spokesperson for Rainbows said: “All proceeds from the evening will go directly to Rainbows, helping us continue to support families across Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands.
