A NIGHT of music, magic and memorable stories is in store.

Singer songwriter Nicki Rogers and close-up and stage magician Dan Alexander will entertain a Dorchester audience in a bid to raise awareness of the charity Mercy Ships.

Mercy Ships supports a hospital ship offering free surgery to some of the poorest countries in the world.

The evening of entertainment will be held by Dorchester Baptist Church at the Dorford Centre in Dorchester on Friday April 21 from 7.30pm to 10pm with a break for a free glass of Shloer in the middle.

Nicki and Dan will also share moving stories of their recent trip to West Africa to see the breathtaking work of the charity.

Bring your friends and be prepared to be entertained, moved and laugh your socks off! There will also be prizes to be won.

Tickets are free and are reserved on a 'first come, first served' basis. The evening is recommended for those aged 16 and above. You can register for tickets by going to mercyships.org.uk/tour or call 01305 262045.
