A 'right old cockney knees-up' is to raise money to make 'dreams come true' for children with life-limiting conditions.

The fundraising event for The Dream Factory will be held at the Marriott Hotel, in Old Shire Lane, Waltham Abbey, and will serve pie and mash.

The Pearly Kings and Queens will provide the entertainment followed by The Fabulous Blues Brothers band and a raffle.

Tickets for the February 8 event are priced £20 each, and are available by calling The Dream Factory on 020 8501 1234.
