Taking place at Worcestershire County Cricket Ground in Worcester, the evening will kick off with welcome drinks, games and mingling, followed by a delicious dinner, awards presentation and live entertainment.

Our live and silent auctions and premium raffle help to raise vital funds which enable us to provide funding to families who have lost children, so that they can access beautiful, bespoke, memorial headstones and ensure that they always have a place to remember their child.

The perfect opportunity for a summer social, come along and network with other local businesses and people of influence, whilst enjoying a night your team will want to repeat year after year!

The Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank Black-Tie Gala charity evening takes place on Friday July 4, 2025 at
Redditch United Football Club.

Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank is becoming a well-known name in the local community of Redditch. Born
out of an idea nearly five years ago by a then, 9-year-old Isaac, the Community Interest Company
(CIC) was established and continues to rely heavily on community donations, and is supported by a
number of charity fundraising events throughout the year.

Redditch United Football Club is host to the charities’ first ever Black-Tie Gala Evening; an event which
has been in the concept stage for some time. The evening is what you would expect of a black-tie
charity fundraising event and perhaps possibly something you wouldn’t.

Event Compere, Peter Bayley-Hill, as seen on BBC’s Dragon’s Den, better known as ‘Peter The Speaker’
will officially open the evening at 7.00pm. Peter will share the programme of the evening and of course
speak about the incredible journey that Friends of Isaac’s Food Bank has had so far.

Guests will then be invited to a delicious sit-down 3-course dinner. During drinks and dinner, special
guest YouTube sensation, Cavan Booth will amaze guests with his sleight of hand magic, which will
leave guests speechless!

After dinner, the events’ headline act, International Stage Hypnotist Poldark provides the
entertainment, with scenes to demonstrate amazing hypnotic style phenomena for scientific research
and the powers of your mind. You choose how you enter the hypnotic world, as a spectator in the
audience or as a volunteer on stage to amaze the other guests. Expect moments of ‘how does he do
that’ as Poldark brings the audience as close as he can, so you really feel part of the entertainment and
believe what you see, although still wonder how it happens.

Peter will then round up the evening with raffle draws, fun games and surprises to celebrate the work
of the charity.

Courtyard Productions Present
Wuthering Heights
By Emily Bronte
Directed by David Durant

Thursday 2 – Saturday 4 October

Love turns savage on the Yorkshire moors.

Passion, obsession, and revenge collide in this fierce new staging of Emily Brontë’s masterpiece. Watch as Heathcliff and Cathy’s devastating love story ignites the stage, brought to life by a unique ensemble of professional actors performing alongside the brightest talents from our local community and Youth Theatre.

When a mysterious orphan boy is taken in by the Earnshaw family, no one could predict how his intense connection with young Cathy would unleash decades of passion, betrayal, and vengeance. Their destructive love affair haunts two generations, poisoning everyone it touches. As storms rage across the moors, dark secrets surface, and long-buried emotions explode into life.

This daring new production cuts straight to the heart of Brontë’s gothic masterpiece, revealing its raw power. Our exceptional cast blends seasoned professionals with fresh local talent to create something truly unique – a Wuthering Heights for today’s audience that captures all the wild spirit of the original.

Some loves burn too hot to survive. Some stories refuse to die.

Join us for a theatrical storm you won’t forget.

Age guidance: Recommended 11+ (some violent moments and scenes of alcohol abuse)
