A VARIETY show will be held at the Octagon Theatre later this month as the final fundraising event of the Mayor of Yeovil’s two-year term of office.

The show is being held on Monday, April 25, 2016, at 7.30pm and raise money for the Douglas Macmillan Haematology and Oncology Day Care Unit at Yeovil District Hospital – the chosen charity for Yeovil Mayor, Cllr Mike Lock.

Tickets are priced £13.50 for adults and £12 for children and available from the Octagon’s box office at 01935-422884.

The Douglas Macmillan unit at Yeovil Hospital provides a range of cancer treatments including chemotherapy and they provide care and support to cancer patients and their families.

A spokesman for the Yeovil Hospital Charity and Yeovil Heartbeat group said: “The principal is to maintain an outpatient cardiac rehabilitation unit where patients who have suffered a heart attack, have had heart surgery or other heart-related conditions can undergo a beneficial and progressive exercise programme whilst being monitored by a cardiac nurse and physiotherapist.”
