Family fun day to take place in Chesterfield Town Centre this September
Families are being invited to take part in a day of fun and activities, as Vicar Lane Shopping Centre in Chesterfield hosts ‘One Great Day’ later this month.
The fundraising event on 17th September is a series of family and community charity events being held throughout the country to raise money for Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity (GOSH) and local charities.
This year Vicar Lane is proud to be sharing donations with GOSH and local children’s hospice Bluebell Wood.
From 11am – 3pm, families can take part in Chester’s Challenge, which is a football shootout led by Chesterfield FC’s very own cheeky mascot. There’ll be an opportunity to explore a Derbyshire White Watch fire engine plus lots of outdoor games, fabulous face-painting and an exciting Tombola to take part in. Vicar Lane Shopping Centre is asking for a small voluntary donation from visitors to take part in each activity.
Vicar Lane will be hosting a raffle with some great prizes up for grabs on the day, including a delicious meal for two at Pizza Pi, x2 traditional afternoon teas at Café Nellie and a £30 for M’s Gallery. Raffle tickets will be available to buy from the Centre Management Suite opposite Iceland from 3rd September right through until the 17th. Visitors will also be able to purchase tickets on the day.
The centre is also offering something extra for visitors. From 7pm there’ll be a special charity outdoor movie screening of classic comedy-drama film Mrs. Doubtfire. Tickets are available to buy now and are expected to go fast, so please book early to avoid disappointment. Packages available include food and drink options with Salute’s mobile prosecco bar in attendance.
Keep an eye on Vicar Lane’s social media channels for individual offers and promotions that retailers and restaurants will be offering in aid of One Great Day.
Brandon Howard, Centre Administrator, Vicar Lane said, “We’re really looking forward to welcoming the people of Chesterfield to Vicar Lane to help us raise much needed funds for two amazing charities. We’ve worked hard to put on an array of entertainment which all age groups should enjoy and we hope that we can encourage the community to join us, in raising as much money as possible!”
Vicar Lane Shopping Centre supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
