ROCKET MAN TRIBUTE TO LAUNCH A NIGHT OF MUSIC AND COMMUNITY IN CHARD
Report by Kelly Leonard for Pulman's Weekly News
Chard, in South Somerset, is set to sparkle with the sound of classic pop as the 'Always Elton Tribute Show' arrives in town on Saturday 14th June. Hosted at the Holyrood Academy Upper Site Hall, the event promises an unforgettable night of entertainment, all in support of the Chard Community Hub.
Running from 6.00pm to 11.00pm, the show will feature one of the UK’s leading Elton John tribute acts, delivering pitch-perfect renditions of hits such as 'Rocket Man', 'Tiny Dancer' and 'Your Song'. Supporting on the night will be local favourites 'The Reservoir Dogs', bringing even more energy to an evening designed for music lovers of all ages.
The family-friendly event includes a reduced ticket price for under-16s, making it an accessible night out for all generations. Attendees can enjoy a fully licensed bar, festival-style food and a BBQ available throughout the evening.
Tickets are available by scanning the QR code found on posters displayed across the town. For more information, attendees can email mparfoot@holyrood.bep.ac or call 01460 923149.
All proceeds from the night will go to the Chard Community Hub. Founded in 2021, the Hub provides a welcoming and inclusive space for local residents, offering drop-in support, community events and a wide range of group activities. It works closely with agencies across housing, health, education, policing and mental health to support those in need.
Over the past year, more than 2,000 people have benefited from the Hub’s services, which include arts and crafts sessions, playgroups, a repair hub, a silent book club, and more.
Megan Parfoot, representing the Hub, highlighted the importance of events like this in keeping the initiative alive: “At Chard Community Hub we are independently funded, meaning all of our finances are through grants, donations and fundraising. Events like these are really important to make sure we can continue supporting people in Chard. We are all extremely excited about this event, so please come along and enjoy a night of great music whilst raising money for a good cause.”
