Bridget said: ‘We are delighted to be able to support Rowans Hospice, they are particularly dear to us as members of our acting crew have been recently supported by the nurses at the hospice through extremely difficult times.

‘We are hugely grateful for all that they do and we hope that in a small way we can help them to continue to help others.’

Carol Milner, director of income generation for the Rowans Hospice, offered thanks to the charity for helping to raise funds for hospice care.

Tickets cost £15.76 plus a voluntary donation of £1, £5, £10 or £20 to the Rowans Hospice charity.
