TV personality and broadcaster Rachel Riley and comedian Brian Conley are teaming up for the first time to co-host A Night of Wishes at The Savoy Hotel in London later this month.

A Night of Wishes is the annual fundraising ball for Make-A-Wish UK, the wish granting charity for critically ill children in the UK.

The star-studded event will include performances and music from Heather Small of M People, Aston Merrygold, HeartFM radio presenter DJ Toby Anstis, one of the world's finest magicians Oliver B, as well as the west end cast of SIX The Musical and West End Kids.

Taking place at the iconic Savoy Hotel London on Thursday 23rd April, A Night of Wishes will begin with a sparkling drinks reception, followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner paired with fine wines. The night will be filled with special entertainment and an exclusive live and silent auction, featuring extraordinary prizes. Guests will also have the rare opportunity to hear directly from wish children and families who have experienced the powerful impact of a wish first hand.

"We’re absolutely thrilled to have Rachel and Brian onboard this year as well as fabulous performances from some class acts. It means so much to us to have the support of so many talented artists who all support our vision of granting a wish to every eligible child in the UK. Children deserve to wish for more than a life defined by their illness, and we are so grateful to everyone who is helping us to grant more wishes year on year’."

Jason Suckley, Chief Executive, Make-A-Wish UK
