Availability only remains for a final few teams and fundraisers are driving for a sell-out, to ensure maximum revenue for the services the Hospice provides to local patients and their families.

The event takes place on 11 May at Hartlepool Rugby Club and harks back to the classic TV series in which teams battle it out for the top spot amid water, inflatables and a variety of fun challenges.

Julie Hildreth, Fundraising Senior Manager at the Hospice said “We hope to fill all the team places for this event and raise as much as possible for Hospice care services – in return we guarantee an unforgettable day out for all involved.

“There is still time to register but places are running out so imminent sign-up will be needed to avoid disappointment. I would like to thank all of the teams who have signed up so far, as well as our hosts at Hartlepool Rugby Club for their support with this event.”

The event also includes a Fun Day, running alongside the It’s a Knockout competition with a variety of stall holders, fairground rides and activities for all ages to enjoy, whilst supporting the Hospice. To enquire about booking a stall for your business, contact Nicola Winwood on nwinwood@alicehousehospice.co.uk

Approximate running times for the day are 12-4pm.
