Larbert High pupils' fashion show and evening of entertainment to celebrate 45 years of Strathcarron
An evening of entertainment organised by local high school pupils to help celebrate Strathcarron Hospice’s 45 years at the heart of the community is set to take place later this month.
The fundraising event at Larbert High School on Friday, May 22 promises to be a fantastic night out filled with live music and entertainment, a pre-loved fashion show and raffle.
To mark the hospice’s anniversary, the dress code for this year’s event is 70s, 80s and 90s, as the Larbert High pupils and staff take the audience on a trip down memory lane, starting in 1981, when the hospice opened its doors to its first patient.
Those attending the celebratory fundraiser can enjoy a two course meal, catered by Three Little Pigs and Candied, with sponsorship from Malcolm Allan and Kinnaird Butchers.
Entertainment comes from Larbert High’s award winning school of dance troupes as well as live music including performances from Daniel Walsh, who performed on Michael McIntyre’s Big Show; Barry Honeyman and Geo Gospel Choir vocalist Toni Bruce.
There will also be stalls to browse and a raffle.
One of the highlights of the evening is always the pupils’ pre-loved fashion show where they create their own fashion designs from items donated to Strathcarron’s charity shop.
Mhairi McAinsh, art teacher and Developing the Young Workforce co-ordinator at the school, said: “Our Strathcarron event is one of the highlights on our school calendar.
"With over 260 people attending it promises to be a fabulous evening.
"Tickets are £25 with all proceeds going to the hospice. Last year we managed to raise £8400 in the three hours, so the hope is to try and raise over £10k this year.”
Tickets are available from Larbert High School’s reception or from the Strathcarron charity shop in Stenhousemuir.
