The Fairway Players Big Sleep Out

In support of the Crisis UK homeless charity

Do you know where you’ll sleep tonight? Thousands of people don’t and that’s why, this spring, the Fairway Players are raising money to help the homeless as we rehearse our next play, The Hollow by Agatha Christie, to be staged on June 5–7, 2025.

On Saturday, April 26, 2025, you can join a sponsored sleep out in St. Barnabas Church Hall, on the very stage set where our play will be performed, all in aid of Crisis, a wonderful charity that helps those affected by homelessness. Sign up today and you can look forward to a glorious night jam-packed with fun activities, including:

Board game tournaments

Ping-Pong and foosball

Crafting, with spot prizes

Singing around a virtual fire

Unlimited FREE go-size flaskets of Bliss Bubbles minimally carbonated well-being water

Dipping snacks in a chocolate fountain

Midnight feast

Breakfast (vegan and gluten-free options)
