Great Salfordians Evening in aid of Start in Salford
Great Salfordians Evening
We are delighted to announce that on Thursday 13th October this year we will be holding a ‘Great Salfordians’ themed evening, with all of the proceeds going towards Start in Salford Creative Arts and Wellbeing Centre.
Approximately 250 people from the world of sport, music, the arts and business will be attending in support of Start, including a number of celebrities, who were all born in or have strong ties with Salford. The evening will feature numerous live performances, including a set from local legend Peter Hook; speeches from keynote speakers; and casino entertainment.
Although guests won’t win cash for playing on the casino tables, the person with the most casino chips at the end of the night will receive a prize that money couldn’t buy. Salford born Harold Riley, the prestigious painter who was friends with L S Lowry, will present the winner of the night with a personal portrait. Riley’s previous works include portraits of Nelson Mandela, Pope John Paul II and George Best, with the lucky winner being added to this list.
Tickets to the evening cost £100 per person and there is the option to book a table – for more information or if you are interested in getting involved with supporting the event then please email: info@startinsalford.org.uk.
In addition to this, in the build up to the ‘Great Salfordians’ evening, we are running an arts competition to encourage local creative talent. There is a £1,000 cash prize for the winner, as well as two tickets to the evening. Please click here for more information.
Great Salfordians
Just wanted to say that I was fortunate enough to be a guest at this wonderful event and it was FAB.
It was lovely to see everyone dressed in their "Best Bib & Tucker" and also nice to see all the celebrities supporting our cause and enjoying themselves too.
The evening was brilliant from the red carpet on arrival to the glass of Proseco on entering the venue to the delicious food & service to the wonderful Mike Sweeney & all other entertainment.
I would also like to thank anyone & everyone who was involved in the organisation of this "Bit of a Do" it was ACE !!!!!! (A Great Success)
