I was recently invited to visit this fantastic event but unfortunately am unable to attend. However I have been given the chance to offer a family ticket (for a family of four) in a giveaway for you, my readers.
For the first time in nearly 25 years, the Massed Bands and Bugles of the Rifles will Sound Retreat on Horse Guards Parade this year. Nearly 300 members of The Rifles will be joined by 200 other servicemen and women from around the globe on June 1st and 2nd to perform a visual and musical spectacle to raise money for Care For Casualties. I am a big believer in donating and raising money for charities and this sounds like a fabulous event that is not to be missed – I am so gutted that I cannot attend!
Known as the fastest marching band in the UK, The Rifles will perform a range of military music. The finale of the performance will be accompanied by a firework display. Buglers will play from the rooftops of buildings surrounding Horse Guards Parade to create a unique experience for the audience.
All the money raised will go to Care For Casualties, an amazing charity that provides unbelievable support for Riflemen, veterans and their families, whenever it’s needed. Tickets cost £10 each or £7.50 when you buy a block of four. The event begins at 8pm. Tickets can be bought from this website. For one family though, I am offering a family ticket so you can experience such an event for yourself!
To enter all you need to do is fill in the Rafflecopter form below. This giveaway is UK only and ends at 11.59pm on 18th of May 2016 to give plenty of time for a winner to be drawn and to receive their prize. Please only enter if you can make these dates, the prize is time sensitive. Good luck!
