CLIC Sargent, the UK’s leading children’s cancer charity is hosting a Fright Night, run by North West Spirit Seekers at Crathes Castle in Aberdeenshire on Saturday 20th March, 2010.
Taking part could not be easier! To secure your place, we need your details and a £20 registration fee and from there we will send out a letter with the final information for the night and your sponsor form.

The event runs from 8.00pm until 1.00am.
