Coming to Switch Nightclub, the over-18 event will be held to raise money for Barnardo’s children’s charity.

Barnado’s mission is to transform the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable children, by reaching out to those who need it and defending, safeguarding and supporting them.

Former Love Island star, Katie Salmon, has been announced as celebrity guest for the evening, and she will be mingling with competitors during the Project Loco quiz.
