A very special fundraising event: Celebrating 25 Years of Billy Elliot! - the three times BAFTA Award Winning film, that tells the story of a young boy from the North East who discovers his talent for ballet, against the gritty backdrop of the Miner's Strike in the 1980s.

There will also be some very special guests from the film's cast joining them onstage!
