Esplanade are proud to put this event together each year and believe that it is unique to the Island as 100% of funds raised from ticket sales, auction, raffle, games go to the charities. All costs associated with running the evening are covered by Esplanade, and Robert Thompson generously donates all the wonderful food and his time. This partnership between Esplanade and Robert Thompson has now seen a total of £67,470 raised for Isle of Wight Charities over the last 4 years.

General Manager, Paul Styles says, ‘We are really pleased to be in a position to be able to organise this event and raise money for local charities which are close to our hearts.’
