“The show is shaping up to be a fantastic night of entertainment for three amazing causes.”
Mayor Cllr Seán Keating said: “I’m really looking forward to watching the best of Basingstoke’s talented performers on stage at the variety show and I hope you will join me for an evening of great entertainment.
