ROBERT Plant and his band Saving Grace, along with a host of other musicians, will be celebrating Bewdley as part of a special event this week.
‘Celebration Daze’ will take place over two evenings at St Anne's Church on Load Street, raising money for local charities.
The event is also a means of congratulating two mainstays of the town, The Bewdley Civic Society, which is celebrating its 80-year anniversary, and Bewdley Tennis Club, which has reached its 100th birthday.
On Friday (September 20), comedian and classical pianist Alistair McGowan will be performing at the church. Singer Deborah Rose and poet Liz Berry will also be performing, accompanied by fiddle player Ruth Angell, on the evening.
Tickets costing £25 are still available for the Friday showcase and can be booked via Ticket Source, however, the tickets for the Saturday night show are now completely sold out.
The plans for the 'Celebration Daze' project were first discussed in a local pub by Robert Plant and the members of Saving Grace.
They said as they spend so much time in and around the community, they wanted to contribute somehow to its "many qualities and facilities available to local people."
