A RESTAURANT in Warwick is racking up a great night of entertainment in aid of a local children’s charity.
The good sports at Warwick Spice, in Smith Street, are hoping to pocket plenty of money for Molly Ollys which supports children with life-threatening illnesses and their families.
An Evening With Jon Parrott will offer visitors the chance to enjoy an exclusive audience with the snooker legend, who returns to the restaurant, on May 12, ten years after his first visit. Parrott came to prominence in the mid to late 1980s, and won both the 1991 World and UK Snooker Championships, making him only the third player to win both championships in the same calendar year. He is now a respected commentator and pundit for the BBC.
John Parrott said: “I can’t believe its 10 years since I last visited Warwick Spice and I’m looking forward to returning shortly after this year’s World Championships in Sheffield.
“It’s all in aid of a great cause and I’m looking forward to bringing stories back from Sheffield and taking a step back in time whilst enjoying the best food you could wish for.”
The evening starts from 7pm and includes a meet and greet, chance to take photos with John, a signed picture and three-course meal. Plus there’ll be chance to take part in a raffle where prizes include signed items by John Parrott.
Molly Ollys was established in 2011 by Rachel and Tim Ollerenshaw, from Warwick, following the death of their eight-year-old daughter Molly from a rare kidney cancer.
The charity works to support children with terminal or life-limiting illnesses and their families and help with their emotional wellbeing. As well as providing wishes, they donate therapeutic toys and books to both children directly and to hospitals throughout the UK.
Rachel added: “A massive thanks to all the team at Warwick Spice for hosting another Molly Ollys fundraising event with snooker legend John Parrott. We’re always grateful for the support that Warwick Spice gives us, with the funds raised being vitally important for our charity as we continue to support children with life-threatening illnesses around the UK.”
