Montrose RNLI hosts evening of entertainment to raise funds to save lives at sea

The celebratory event will be held at the Occasions Suite in Montrose, starting at 6.30pm, and is set to be an incredible fundraising event.

There is a superb line-up of entertainment for the evening, headlined by the band Pepperpot. The evening will also feature a performance from Garry Seagraves the Magician, and plenty of games and a raffle to keep the evening fun-filled.

Each guest will also receive a free entry into a cash prize draw.

Heather Murray, Head of Fundraising at Montrose RNLI and event organiser, says: ‘We’re delighted to be hosting our evening of entertainment on Saturday 31 May at the Occasions Suite in Montrose, in aid of the RNLI, to help us continue to save lives at sea. It’s an exciting time with the charity’s 200-year anniversary, and we’re encouraging everyone to get involved where they can.

‘The Adult Magic Show from Garry Seagraves is not to be missed, and we’d love you to join us for this followed by dancing the night away with live music from Pepperpot. We will also be serving bacon and sausage rolls on the evening to keep everyone fed.’

Tickets are priced at £25 per adult, and are available to order on Eventbrite here:
