Later this year, the stars of Emmerdale, one of Britain's top three TV
soaps, will give up a precious weekend to come to Northern Ireland.
The reason for their trip is to raise money for charity - but also to have
an enormous amount of fun with the public.
The Emmerdale
Extravaganza, as it's become known, has been held in Aberdeen for seven
years, but when Northern Ireland was suggested as a new location, the cast
jumped at the chance.
Around 25 Emmerdale actors, producers and
others will descend on the Province on June 25 for the event - which is
being staged at the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in Cultra.
The
mayhem will include a thrilling air display, golf challenge, fun and bike
runs, abseiling and much, much more.
All the profits will go to the
Anthony Nolan Trust, which takes back lives from leukaemia by providing bone
marrow donors. In 2006, for example, the charity gave 512 children and
adults a new chance of life.
The Belfast Telegraph is proud to
support this event and we encourage all our readers to take part. It will be
a wonderful family day out ... and the money you raise will save lives.
