Okay, we've gone a bit mad! On Saturday 24th June from 3-9pm we are hosting a Dance Party at the Boileroom in Guildford. And crazier than crazier, Jen (who has been at The Bear Garden for 16 years!) is going to be doing a 6 hour DANCE-A-THON at the same time! Completely bonkers!
2017 is the 25th Birthday of The Bear Garden and we have set ourselves the challenge of raising £25,000 for War Child. Jen has decided to raise money towards the target by organising the Dance Party and doing her 6 hour DANCE-A-THON. Jen will dance non-stop for 6 hours and is training hard!
It is £5 donation to get in and all are welcome to come and join in and have a boogie to keep Jen company for as long as you want! Or you can just grab a drink and look on!
7 year old Charlotte is now doing a sponsored one hour dance as well from 4-5pm!
Lots will be going on, including a cake stand, so that you put those calories straight back on!
