AN evening of food, live music and entertainment is coming to Evesham this Halloween in aid of charity.

Paul Betts, 62, of Philipscote, Evesham, has organised the event in aid of Midlands Air Ambulance, with support from his friend Tom Boycott.

The fundraiser will take place on Saturday, October 31, at the Bhagan restaurant in Vine Street.

An award-winning close-up magician, a professional saxophone player and numerous other local musicians will perform while attendees are encouraged to come in fancy dress.

Mr Betts said: "The Midlands Air Ambulance is a favourite charity around here.

"It is very popular amongst the local people and its life-saving work touches a lot of hearts.

"The event will be great fun and a good night out - and we hope to raise as much money as possible."

He added that Bhagan restaurant has been "very supportive" with their fundraising endeavours.

Fifty-six tickets, which cost £25 including a two-course meal and drinks on arrival, are available from Mr Betts on 01386 641611.

It is possible to bring your own alcohol to the event.

A second fundraiser with a sports theme will be held at the same restaurant on Tuesday, November 3.
