There will be entertainment from the Naomi Payne Hotsy Totsy Band and plenty of dancing to songs from the 1920s period, as well as more modern music.

There will also be an auction conducted by Hall's fine art director Jeremy Lamond, who has appeared on antiques programmes such as Bargain Hunt. Lots up for grabs include holidays, cuddly toys and even a special painting made by children staying at Hope House.

"It is set to be a fantastic night and is one of our main fundraising events in the county," said fundraising manager Vanessa Thomas. "Thanks to hugely generous sponsorship by Shrewsbury-based Select-a-Skip we raised over £13,000 last year and hope to do the same this year."

Tickets have sold quickly and just three tables of 10 seats are still available at a cost of £400 a table. To book call the fundraising office on (01691) 671671 or go online here.
