Now here is the chance to have our very own themed event to start the group’s 40^th anniversary off to a great start. So come and join us for a great family event and support some great charities too!” Characters will include R2D2, The Joker, Ghostbuster, Deadpool, Spiderman and many others who will be visiting your table for photo opportunities. There’s also a great prize raffle too!

The evening will see ticket holders enjoy delicious poppadoms, chutneys and a tasty curry to support BBC Children in Need and other good causes. Not only that, but you will also have a unique character dining experience with superheroes and sci-fi characters visiting your table for fantastic photo opportunities. It’s a great evening for all the family to enjoy and tickets are likely to get snapped up quickly.
