Last remaining tickets for the Sale of the Century
Once again, local businesses and patrons have expressed their support for the Thwaites Empire Theatre in an overwhelming response to tickets for our fundraising gala dinner and auction on Saturday 6 March.
The event, organised by Chairman and Fundraising Director, Michael Berry is almost a complete sell out with just a handful of tickets remaining.
It takes place at the Premier Suite, Blackburn Rovers where guests will enjoy a bucks fizz reception and three course meal to celebrate the centenary of the theatre. Throughout the evening guests will have the chance to bid on the birthday gifts donated to the theatre, including a Magnet Kitchen and a luxury holiday lodge in the Lake District.
Blackburn author, Josephine Cox will be attending and has offered the chance to bid for a loved one to have a character named after him or her in the next best seller.
Tickets cost £30.
