Cherries to host family football festival for charity

AFC Bournemouth is hosting a special charity family football festival in aid of three local hospices on Saturday February 25 at the Seward Stadium.

From 12pm – 3pm families can enjoy a host of fun activities including face painting, keepy up challenges and hair braiding.

Discounted family tickets will be offered for the match against MK Dons which kicks off at 3pm. Two adults and two children can enter for just £25, and £5 from each family ticket sold will be split equally between Lewis-Manning Hospice, Friends of Forest Holme and Julia’s House.

Sara Sheppard, Community Fundraiser at Lewis-Manning Hospice said: “We’re delighted that the Cherries are hosting another family festival as last year’s event was good fun and the funds raised will go straight back into caring for local adults with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses.”
