Slip Into a Special Charity Ice Show

25/10/2006

With a special performance of skating spectacular Hot Ice in aid of local children’s hospice Derian House.

On Thursday November 2 every single seat in the Arena will be just £10 with proceeds from ticket sales for that performance destined for the Chorley-based care centre.

Derian House Children's Hospice is the lifeline, which gives terminally ill children and their families the strength to go on and their means of survival through the darkest moments. It gives the children a home from home, the best possible medical care and as much fun and laughter as they can pack into their shortened lives. These children suffer from a wide range of illnesses, which mean they may not be dying in the immediate sense, but suffer a relentless deterioration of their condition. Derian House offers optimum care and support to cope with their illness and the means to lead as full and normal a life as possible.

With less than 2% of its funding coming from official sources, the reality is that Derian House is open 365 days a year but only receives statutory funding for just four days a year.

Slip into the Arena at Pleasure Beach, Blackpool this November 2nd and you can help

Photo opportunities will also be available before the show with Hot Ice skating stars Nicky Scott and Dan Whiston (ITV’s Dancing On Ice champion) with £1 from every photo sold on the night also donated to the charity. A prize raffle will also be drawn on the evening.

To book your Hot Ice tickets call Derian House on 01257 271271 Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm or pop into the Arena Box Office at Pleasure Beach seven days a week.
