COME rain or shine, a beach party in aid of local causes will be going ahead at a Hereford nightspot this weekend.

Nick Maddy is hosting a beach party at Karlo’s on Widemarsh Street and will be raising funds for St Michael’s Hospice and the Stonebow Unit at Hereford County Hospital.

Nick said: “The event is being held in memory of lost friends, who have required the services of both organisations.”

On Saturday, August 23, Karlo’s will open its doors at 11am where a bouncy castle, cocnut shy and beach volley ball will be on offer.

The activities will also take place the following day and guests are invited to wear their beach gear.
