A group of students have organised an event at Chester Racecourse to raise money for Liverpool-based charity, 'Love Jasmine'.

The event is set to take place at the Racecourse from 6pm on Friday 28 February. 

Four University of Chester students are behind the evening, which will combine bingo and quirky prizes.

Seasoned bingo-pros and newcomers are invited to join with friends for a memorable night out, with food provided and 'a glass of fizz' on arrival.

'Bubbles and Bingo' aims to raise money and awareness for 'Love Jasmine', established by Rob and Kathy Lapsley in 2016, following the death of their daughter Jasmine in August 2014.

The charity provides bereavement support and services to families who have lost a child of any age, from 20 weeks gestation to adulthood.

It takes a holistic approach to the support it provides to families, understanding that everyone deals with their grief and trauma in their own way.   

Jess Fisher, part of the team hosting the event, said: "We can't wait to finally hold this event in aid of Love Jasmine.

"After lots of teamwork and tough decisions, we're really looking forward to welcoming everyone to experience the memorable night that it promises to be." 

Rob Lapsley, co-founder and director of 'Love Jasmine', said: "We were delighted to find out that we were chosen to be the beneficiaries of the fundraising evening organised by Jess, Ella, Ben and Nia.

"The hard work they have already put into making the event a success will help us to continue to support families bereaved by the loss of a child as well as support families whose child has a terminal diagnosis."  

Doors for the event open at 6pm, with last entry at 7.30pm.

Tickets for the evening are £33.22 (including a booking fee) for individuals, and £217.39 (including a booking fee) for a table of eight.  

 The evening, for ages 18 years and over, will take place at Chester Racecourse, New Crane Street, Chester, CH1 2LY.
