A huge happy birthday to our Jordan today! 🎉🎂🥳

He’s the perfect trustee — always doing his fair share, always reliable, and always there when he says he will be. We’re incredibly lucky to have him as part of the team.

Not forgetting the many years of fundraising he’s dedicated to Miles for Smiles — long before we became a registered charity, and continuing ever since. Even enduring a bit of “humiliation” in recent years, like that unforgettable walk back from Skegness on Day 1 in some personalised Y-fronts 😂

Jordan truly is a top guy and a great friend to us all. We hope you’ll all join us in wishing him a fantastic birthday! 🎉

We’ve been waiting 10 weeks to share this one with you! From creating the pint cup, tweaking the design, and then the 6-week wait for delivery… it’s finally here 🙌

We’re always looking at ways to make our Party on the Pitch bigger and better — and this is a fantastic improvement. The cups look AMAZING!!! 🤩

Not only that, but we’ll be cutting back on tens of thousands of single-use plastic cups — a huge step forward for us environmentally 🌍♻️

These reusable pint cups will be on sale next to all bars for just £2. Once you’ve got yours, it’s yours for the whole day — and you can take it home to enjoy it all summer long in the garden too 🍺☀️

The cups were kindly sponsored by Clean cut landscapes & driveways and by the brilliant team at Create A Cup who also created them wow 😍

We’d like to say a massive thank you to them both for their support — we really appreciate it 👏

Tickets to the event can be brought below

Friday 27th February we held our very first Marc Bolton & Friends evening at the incredible Colliery Smokehouse — and what a night it was!

First and foremost, a huge thank you to Pete and his amazing team. You worked tirelessly and even allowed us to use the venue a full week before its official opening on Friday 6th March. The food looked exceptional and the venue itself is absolutely stunning — make sure you go and check it out!

Now to our fantastic acts…

🎤 Marc Bolton – our brilliant compère and the man who makes these evenings what they are. Exceptional every single time.

🎸 Matt Harper – the acoustic king! It was so good to have you back at one of our events.

🎶 Elle Bambridge – you always know what you’re getting with this young lady… pure talent and an amazing voice.

💃 Vikki Rosina – smashing the big songs as always and keeping that dance floor packed!

🔥 The Treb 444’s – your first time back with us in a couple of years and WOW… what a way to finish the evening in style!

A massive thank you to all of the acts for giving up your time free of charge to support our cause — it truly means the world and you helped raise also £3,000 👏👏👏

And of course, thank you to our talented photographer Mark Corns for capturing some incredible moments from the night.

Our next music event — featuring Marc and the acts from this evening PLUS 5 of the UK’s best tribute acts — takes place on Saturday 30th May 2026 at Gresley Rovers from 12pm–9pm.

Nine hours of live music and plenty of fun for all the family — this is one you don’t want to miss!
