An 80s-themed disco has raised around £600 for charity.

Organised by Ludlow Town Council, the fundraiser took place at Ludlow Brewery on Friday, August 14, drawing a lively crowd of more than 80 people in support of the Mayor of Ludlow’s chosen charities.

DJ Toolie set the tone for the night with a nostalgic playlist of 80s classics, neon flair, and retro fashion.

Councillor Di Lyle, Mayor of Ludlow, said: "It was a brilliant night – full of music, fun and community spirit.

"I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who came along and helped raise funds for two charities that make such a meaningful difference to local people.

"These events not only raise vital funds for local charities but also bring people into Ludlow – residents and visitors alike – supporting local venues, traders and the town’s economy."

All proceeds from ticket sales will go to Working Together Ludlow and St Michael’s Hospice.

Working Together Ludlow supports adults with learning disabilities, while St Michael’s Hospice provides end-of-life care across the region.

The town council thanked everyone who attended, Ludlow Brewery for hosting, and Noba Kitchen for serving food on the night.

The Mayor’s 80s Disco is part of a series of fundraising events supporting the Mayor’s charities.
