This summer the SNO!zone in Castleford Xscape will be encouraging people to support the Prince of Wales Hospice when they provide a full day of entertainment in aid of the charity.The indoor snow slope at Castleford is hoping to raise lots of money on the 18th July with a new event, LIVEZONE, where everyone will be entertained from 12noon until the evening.
The day long festival of fun and music will include a Battle of the Bands in association with Marshall Amplifiers, live from 7pm with a host of local bands battling it out to win a slot at the Limetree Festival.
Fran Hennessy, Events Co-ordinator for SNO!zone said: "We are really looking forward to the event in July, we have been working with the cheerleaders, the Wildcat Dolls, from Wakefield Wildcats who will be holding one hour streetdance workshops for free throughout the day.
"There will be something for everyone from circus skills workshops, facepainters, stalls, giant games to treasure hunts. We are hoping to raise lots of money for the Hospice and really want people to get behind the event as it is amazing to see the excellent work that the Hospice do."
Mandy Mefcalfe, Events and Community Fundraiser for The Prince of Wales Hospice said, "It is great that SNO!zone are holding this event with the aim to raise money for the Hospice. We rely heavily on the support of local people and are really looking forward to the event."
Entry to the event is free, although there is a £2 suggested entry fee in place. Collection buckets will be going around all day for people to donate as they wish and help the Hospice raise the vital funding needed.
