PHYLLIS Tuckwell Hospice has opened ticket sales for its ‘Moonlit in Marrakesh’ parties, which will be held on Friday, December 1 and Saturday, December 2, at FIVE in Farnborough.

Taking their inspiration from the city where centuries of Bedouin tribes and traders have exchanged secrets over spices, silks and silver in market places, these evenings are designed to delight the senses.

A lamp-lit wooden bridge will lead party-goers past tranquil fountains and ornate bronze sculptures, to a palm-lined dining area nestling beneath a ceiling of twinkling stars.

A hypnotic display of dancers, entertainers and aerial performers will entertain visitors as they are served their three-course meal, after which they can relax in the cushioned Kasbah, grab a refreshing Casablanca Beer, ride the unique Camel Rodeo or simply dance the night away at the disco.

These Christmas parties are supported by Best Parties Ever and are sponsored by award-winning Premier Panel Skills, the Farnham car body repair centre.

The parties will start at 7pm and will include a charity casino, indoor dodgems, a professional photographer, Christmas crackers, a raffle and auctions with fantastic prizes, and a survivors’ breakfast, before ending at 1am.

Tickets are £40 per person and can be purchased by calling Phyllis Tuckwell’s Fundraising team on 01252 729446, emailing [email protected] or visiting www.pth.org.uk/event-diary.
