FatBoy Slim to host virtual Martlets Halloween Bash

It will take place on Saturday, October 31 and some of Brighton’s finest celebrities will be joining forces to present an evening of devilishly good entertainment – to be enjoyed from the safety of your own sofa.

Broadcast live via Zoom, Brighton's Fatboy Slim will be joined by compere for the night, top comic and Hove resident Zoe Lyons; along with Brighton-based funny woman Angela Barnes. They’re giving their time and talents for free – with all proceeds from ticket sales going to Martlets, the charity that provides life-changing hospice care in the city and surrounding areas.

Themed ‘the Twisted Twenties Halloween Bash’ in a nod to the 1920s and the – quite apt - era of prohibition, attendees are encouraged to get their glad-rags on and dress as the most glamourous guys and ghouls in town with FatBoy Slim awarding a prize to the best dressed attendees.

Tickets start at just £66 per household and are available online at eventbrite.co.uk/e/martlets-twisted-twenties-halloween-bash-tickets-124062856343Along with the comedy and DJ set will be a swinging music set, cocktail making and a host of surprise extras to keep the crowd entertained all night.

Emma Knight, organiser of the event and head of partnerships at Martlets says “Our community normally comes together to help us raise vital funds at The Grand each year. This year, we’re asking people to stay safe and party with us from their own homes.

“Our care and support doesn’t stop for the pandemic – it can’t. Thanks to our local community we can keep caring and this event is a fabulous and fun way to make sure local people living with a terminal diagnosis can still feel hope, purpose and possibility.”

Headline Sponsors for the night are Skerritts and Trident. Martlets also thanks RT Williams; The Salt Room and The Coal Shed and The Grand Hotel for their generous support.
