A charity dance event takes place this Saturday (March 16), to raise cash for the children's ward garden at St Mary's Hospital in Newport.

UPDATE: Sadly, the organisers have confirmed the event has been cancelled.

Six hours of fun is promised, for £20 per person, at Ventnor Cricket Club, on Steephill Road.

With special guests along the way, including burlesque dancers and Island Stompers, there will also be sessions from dance and fitness instructors.

Zumba and line dancing will be among the featured events, across the afternoon and evening.
