He will be joined with their resident gin enthusiast, serving up complimentary bubbly and joining forces with the popular baker, providing a Gin Cocktail and Coffee finale to the evening.

This exciting event is from 7pm to 11pm, with tickets at £35, and will feature live music plus a raffle. Tickets are available through Eventbrite, or at: www.facebook.com/events/1029851617217332

Proceeds from each ticket will go to St David’s Hospice Care, which provides 24-7 care to more than £3,200 patients and their families each year.

These vital services cost St David’s Hospice Care more than £7.9million each year, which would be impossible without donations and support from the public.

This entertaining evening is just one of numerous events held to support the charity, with St David’s Hospice Care also gearing up for the return of Portstock festival, this year at Rodney Parade on June 22.
