THE Marketeers Carnival Club will be hosting a fundraising evening.

Following on from the club's successful "A Night at the Proms" events, a new evening of festive fun has been added to the calendar - 'Carols by Candlelight'.

The event is being held at Bridgwater's Town Hall on December 10, and promises to be a great evening of entertainment while raising funds for the club.

The evening is being hosted by Bridgwater's own BBC Radio Bristol presenter Emma Britton, and will feature the multi-award winning Weston Brass Concert Band,Ben Filler who has won the Bridgwater Carnival Concerts numerous times, and the Somerset Songbirds who are raising funds for charity Scotty's Little Soldiers.

The festive fun starts at 6pm, and there will be mince pies, hot drinks and a full licensed bar available to all patrons.

Tickets cost £10 each and are available from Marketeers members, The Blake Arms Hotel, The Carnival Centre in Bridgwater High Street or by calling the ticket hotline - 07449 874942.

Alan Windsor, club captain, said: "Marketeers CC finished runners up in the 2016 County Carnival Circuit and it is hoped that this event, while becoming a regular fixture in the calendar, can give something back to our loyal supporters while helping us start 2017 with a bang."
