Tickets are now on available for a charity film premiere next week in aid of the Jago Worrall Foundation, a campaign supported by our sister paper, the Daventry Express.
Film buffs can see Disney’s next big movie a whole week ahead of its official release this summer.
On August 9 Cineworld in Sixfields, Northampton is opening its doors for an exclusive premiere screening of Planes and all the takings will go directly to the charity.
This is an exclusive chance to see the big film of the summer a whole week before it opens nationally.
The action-packed comedy adventure, following on from Disney’s Cars movies, is about a big-hearted crop duster with dreams of competing as a high-flying racer. There’s just two problems – he’s not exactly built for racing and he’s afraid of heights!
Tickets for the screening, which takes place at 11am, can be purchased on the day or in advance from Cineworld, Sixfields or the Daventry Express offices in High Street, Daventry, in exchange for donations to the charity. Recommended donation is £5 per ticket. There are 170 seats which are available on a first come-first served basis.
Jules Dodds, Cineworld deputy general manager, said: “The Jago Worrall Foundation is a truly remarkable charity, with the story of little Jago touching our hearts and we are really pleased to be involved in raising funds for such a worthy cause, helping out the local community.
Two-year-old Jago suffered severe brain juries last year after nearly drowning in a pond at the family home in Welton.
Twelve months on he has now left the paediatric rehabilitation centre in Surrey to continue his round-the-clock treatment back at home.
Now Jago’s older brothers, Riley and Ferdie, are being invited as guests of honour for the screening.
They will be transported by limousine from their home and given the red carpet treatment in true Hollywood style. They will also be given the opportunity to serve up popcorn and drinks to customers as well get an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the cinema.
Lyn Worrall, Jago’s mum, said: “Once again Barney and I are amazed and humbled by people’s generosity.
“The fundraising that has taken place is giving Jago a chance to have the best possible care and therapy that he deserves, thank you Cineworld!”
