Soap stars from Hollyoaks, Shameless and Emmerdale will be flying over to spend Saturday 8 August at a family fun day in Omagh in aid of their chosen charities, NSPCC Northern Ireland and the Cedar Foundation.

The event at Omagh Leisure Complex is the third in a series of charity fundraisers organised by local PR consultant Gary Campion with the support of Janet Freebury from Off the Rails PR. The day will consist of inflatable fun with bouncy castles, slides, gladiator duels and a demolition zone, all sponsored by local businesses, as well as time challenges and competitions for each of the three sessions. Throughout the day, the stars will be participating in the fun with the children in attendance and posing for photographs before heading to local nightclub Utopia for the over 18s fans.

Gary Campion said: “Following the success of last year’s Stars of TV fashion and music show which was also held in Omagh, Janet and some of the cast members of Hollyoaks who were involved contacted me to see if we could do something again this year as they had such a blast at last years event. So after some brain storming we decided on the type of event and the guys chose NSPCC as it is their 125th Anniversary year and local charity The Cedar Foundation as they felt the work that both charities do on a local level in Northern Ireland is so valuable.

“We hope that the day will be an amazing success in raising not just funds but awareness of the work of both charities. The stars have given up their weekend to participate in the event and are looking forward to a day of fun.”
