Classic Ibiza is returning to the stunning grounds of Burghley House on Saturday 29 July, with over 5 hours of Balearic-infused dance music headlined by the 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra (USO).
The family-friendly concert has announced that it will continue to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH). This will be the third consecutive year that Classic Ibiza has supported the charity that helps children, young people and their families living with life-threatening conditions across Cambridgeshire, Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk.
EACH offers local families flexibility and control over where they receive their care and support – at home, in hospital or at one of three hospices at Milton (Cambridge), The Nook (Norfolk) and The Treehouse (Ipswich). More than half of the care and support they provide is delivered in the family home and community, in familiar and comfortable surroundings.
EACH’s Tina Burdett said: “Classic Ibiza concerts are iconic and being able to work with the team at Revival Productions to raise money is such a fantastic opportunity. Since attending the concerts we’ve raised nearly £10,000 which helps us to always be there for families dealing with the impossible reality of caring for a child or young person with a life threatening condition. We can’t wait to see everyone at Burghley this year and hope you’ll help us make it an event to remember.”
There will be various fundraising initiatives taking place on the evening, including a £2.50 donation from every programme sold, a recommended £5 donation from press and guest-list entries, as well as collection points at all entry and exit gates. Further funds will be raised at the EACH shop, selling a range of fun merchandise. A JustGiving page has also been established for those people wanting to donate beforehand.
Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward said: “EACH is an incredible charity, providing inspirational support in the local area. Their fabulous fundraisers certainly brought some extra colour and fun to our show last year. Burghley is once again due to sell out, so we hope to help them raise even more money to continue their amazing work.”
Gates open at Burghley House at 5.30pm, with the show starting with a Chill-Out DJ Set. Former Pacha Ibiza resident, DJ Jose Luis then takes control of the decks for his Afro/Latin House Set. Next up, USO and DJ Goldierocks take centre stage for the Sundowner set, followed by Goldierocks’ House DJ Set. The show then reaches a rapturous crescendo as USO return to the stage for the Dance Set, accompanied by an awesome laser & light show. This year’s concert includes 15 completely new arrangements in an orchestral programme of over 30 house classics.
