Detling Show Ground near Maidstone
Sunday 21 September 2008
Tickets available on the gate
Help support our troops whilst enjoying a fabulous day out for all the family. Top of the bill are chart-busting McFly – with seven number 1s and two number 1 albums. Celebrities, artists and the military are joining forces to give families a day out to remember, whilst raising essential funds for Help for Heroes Charity.
Organisers ‘Your Voice Roadshow’ based in Ashford are hoping to raise a substantial amount of money for the charity. Help for Heroes was launched in October 2007 in response to the desire of ordinary people to do something practical to help our wounded servicemen and women. As individuals we are powerless to prevent war and can feel helpless that we are unable to stop our men and women from being killed and wounded. Celebrity supporters of the charity include TV show hosts Jeremy Clarkson and James May (Top Gear), Prince Harry and Prince William, Simon Cowell, rugby star Johnny Wilkinson, Lee Westwood, Sharon Osborne, actor Ross Kemp, Barbara Windsor, TV chef Gary Rhodes and football legend Frank Lampard. Football Icon David Beckham says ‘I am incredibly proud and grateful for the commitment and work that our armed forces do for our country. I support the campaign fully’
The event is taking place in the Detling Show Ground near Maidstone on Sunday 21 September 2008. Compered by Cheryl Baker and Shaun Williamson, the day will be packed with entertainment and thrills.
