Love at First Serve – A Valentine Showdown Fair
Free event running from 11am to 3pm on Saturday 14 February at Bury Blind Society, Tenterden Street, Bury BL9 0EG. The fair is designed to raise funds and awareness, while introducing the local community to Showdown, an exciting and fully inclusive sport. Showdown is played by visually impaired and sighted players together, with all participants wearing blindfolds so everyone competes on an equal footing. It’s a brilliant, accessible sport and always sparks interest when people see or hear about it for the first time.
BBS on Tour is back — and it’s bigger, bolder, and just as brilliant!
Following the success of last year’s BBS on Tour, we’re delighted to invite you to an evening of entertainment on Thursday 12th March at 7.30pm.
This uplifting show features a fantastic mix of performances from our talented staff, volunteers, and clients, all coming together to share their creativity, confidence, and passion. Expect music, laughter, surprises, and moments that may make you smile, tap your feet, or wonder why you didn’t bring tissues.
With performers who have sight impairment taking centre stage, BBS on Tour 2.0 is a celebration of ability, individuality, and the joy of live performance — proving once again that talent doesn’t need perfect vision, just a great spotlight.
Come along, support our performers, and enjoy a memorable evening that promises heart, humour, and heaps of applause.
