TV PERSONALITY Matthew Kelly will host a festive fundraiser next week in aid of the NeuroMuscular Centre at Winsford.

The annual Spirit of Christmas event at Chester Cathedral, which this year takes place on Friday, November 28, will be given a touch of glamour by celebrities including Ian McNeice and Inspector Lynley actor Nathanial Parker.

The Cheshire Constabulary Brass Band will be performing, alongside the winning school from the NMC’s choir competition.

Former Stars in Their Eyes host Matthew, whose wife Sarah set up the unique centre in 1990 to help sufferers of muscular dystrophy, will be master of ceremonies for the evening.

For a £50 VIP ticket you can rub shoulders with the stars – and get a photo with them – at a champagne and canapé reception after the concert, which you will enjoy from the best seats in the house.

Other tickets are priced £17.50 and £10 for the concert only. To buy tickets, call Leanne Marsden at the NMC on 01606 861733.
