MARY Stevens Hospice will hold a fundraising dinner to celebrate the anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar and commemorate the immortal memory of Lord Nelson.

The event will be held at Dunsley Hall, Kinver, on Tuesday October 21, from 7pm.

Guests will be treated to a drinks reception, three-course meal and a thrilling description of the most murderous and bloody sea battle in British history.

The hospice's chief executive, Stevan Jackson, will host the evening.

Mr Jackson, who until recently served as a captain in the Royal Navy, said: “This evening is a fantastic opportunity for members of the local community to celebrate the historical events that took place over 200 years ago whilst also raising vital funds for Mary Stevens Hospice.

"By attending this prestigious dinner you will be supporting the great work of the dedicated hospice team who are committed to the relief of pain and suffering.”
