On Sunday 20th March between 12:00-16:00, Enchanted Isle Princess Parties is hosting its’ first fairytale ball for local families at The Riverside Centre in Newport. This family fun day event is hoped to raise funds for charities Kissypuppy, Chelsea’s Wishes and YMCA Fairthorne Group.
There will be a special debut appearance from Enchanted Isle’s new princess. She’ll be presenting awards for fancy dress winners and feature in a photobooth. The event will include a wide range of attractions and entertainment, featuring a bouncy castle, soft play areas, face-painting as well as stalls from local traders.
Throughout the day, there will be live entertainment from magician Huxley Hunt, musical performances and character meet and greets.
Enchanted Isle founder Natalie de Gruchy says;
“We’re so excited to have this event. It’s a real coming together of the Island’s entertainers and local businesses for a good cause”.
Local businesses have donated an array of prizes to be part of the grand raffle.
Chelsea’s Wishes is supporting Chelsea Turner, born 11 weeks early and severely disabled. The charity aims to provide sensory play areas for children with disabilities. Kissypuppy provides much needed help to families of children with cancer and was founded in memory of Sophie Rolf. The charity was nominated by the parents of Delilah Monaghan, Enchanted Isle princes had spent time with before her passing in 2015.
Entry is £5 per child (under 1’s go free) and includes use of all the play areas and viewing of all entertainment. 100% of funds raised are donated to charity. To book, look for ‘Enchanted Isle – Princess Parties’ on Facebook. Refreshments are available in the canteen and select stalls. Parking available onsite but is limited.
This fundraising event has been made possible with the help of seed funding and business mentoring support made available from YMCA Futures. The Isle of Wight Foundation (Island Roads) funds YMCA Futures to support young islanders with their business ventures.
