SOAP star Adam Woodyatt is organising a fundraising event at the Ricoh Arena to help victims of the Haiti earthquake.
A family fun day will be held at the stadium’s Jaguar Exhibition Hall on Sunday February 28 featuring cast members from EastEnders.
Adam, who plays Ian Beale in the BBC1 soap, and lives in Southam, south Warwickshire, wanted to organise a fundraising event in the Midlands and started brainstorming ideas on his Twitter page.
EastEnders’ stars set to appear so far include Pam St Clement, Samantha Womack, Scott Maslen, John Altman and Michelle Collins.
There’ll be live music by local bands, dancing, indoor fair attractions, question and answer sessions with soap stars and opportunities to pick up autographs and signed photos in return for donations to the Haiti earthquake relief appeal.
Liz Cooper, marketing director at the Ricoh, said: “The number of people getting involved is growing by the minute.
“We’re looking at real key stars from EastEnders and maybe even actors and actresses from Coronation Street, Holby City and Hollyoaks – this is going to be a really big day.
“It’s great that people like Adam are giving up their time to raise funds and the Ricoh will do its bit as well.”
Ticket details will be announced shortly. The day will begin at 10.30am and finish around 5pm. All of the proceeds will go to the Haiti appeal.
