An Elvis Presley themed charity dance night returns to Wellington this summer.

It follows last year's successful event which raised £1,750 for Stand Up to Cancer/Cancer Research UK.

Another Night of Elvis will take place at Wellington Football Club on Saturday, July 13.

The fundraisers are the brainchild of Ken Bird and Jeanette Bird as a thank you after Mr Bird underwent two major operations for cancer.

Mr Bird said: "It was a such a great night, we thought we’d do it again.

"We hope people will come along again and support this wonderful cause."

Early bird tickets are priced at £12.50 and include a Ploughman’s Supper.

They can be purchased via a call to 07555 102683 or an email to aroundwelly@gmail.com.

If you are not able to attend the dance event but would still like to donate, go to fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/another-night-of-elvis.
