You won’t want to miss this… TV Presenter Chris Tarrant will be hosting a night of bookies and betting in aid of a Berkshire disability charity with a horse racing night.
Swings & Smiles based in Thatcham will be holding its ‘Race Night in Bucklebury’ on Friday 17th May to raise funds for play and respite resources for disabled children and their families.
Guests will bet on horses for eight different randomly selected races with the help of a professional race host.
For the final race of the evening, guests will bid to become the owner of a horse. The lucky owner of the winning horse will take home a percentage of the total raised.
The face of the event, TV presenter Chris Tarrant, is a patron for Swings & Smiles and will be introducing the evening.
CEO of Swings & Smiles Rhonda Nicklin said she was looking forward to welcoming guests for a fun and entertaining evening.
Rhonda said: “We absolutely love hosting events to highlight the work of the charity. The race night is perfect for work socials and meetups, as well as friends and family who want to enjoy a fun evening together.
“I’m so grateful for everyone who attends our fundraising events. We get to celebrate all that we’ve achieved as a charity and say a big thank you to everyone who supports us.”
Chris Tarrant said: “The work Swings and Smiles does for disabled children and their families is incredible. I’m really looking forward to supporting what promises to be a hugely entertaining fundraising event.”
