SEFTON Park Park Palm House will host their annual Henry Yates Thompson fundraising dinner on October 12, seeing the Grade II* listed building transform itself into a magical underwater garden.
The historic venue will be bathed in a magical underwater effect, with a welcome cocktail on arrival accompanied by chamber music from Q-Quartets, dinner and a full evening of entertainment.
This annual event recognises the building’s proud history and the generosity of Liverpool philanthropist Henry Yates Thompson, who in 1896 gifted £10,000 to enable the building of the magnificent glass house for the benefit and wellbeing of the people of Liverpool.
Roy Boardman, director of Sefton Park Palm House Preservation Trust, said: “We are proud that the Henry Yates Thompson dinner celebrates the vibrant and diverse activities that take place at the Palm House and reflects the many cultures of the city and our close links to local organisations. As a charity we rely solely on fundraising income to deliver both our community and health & wellbeing programmes to enrich lives. In addition we welcome many diverse visitors from all over the world who enjoy the Palm House free of charge seven days a week.
“The money raised from this event will go towards new projects including the opportunity to support young people’s mental health. We promise our guests that 2019’s dinner will be bigger and better than ever before!”
This annual event aims to raise £10,000 on the night, with the evening priced at £75 per person.
