A village community came together to raise money for a pre-school.

Revellers flocked to Rivenhall Village Hall on Friday evening and enjoyed a performance from singer Johnny Mack, who gave up his time free of charge.

Proceeds from the event will be split between Riventots pre-school, which is based at the hall, and the venue’s committee, which is planning a special Christmas project for residents.

Ruth Hassey, owner of Riventots, said: “Friday evening was a huge success for us with Johnny Mack as George Michael tribute - he was absolutely outstanding.

“Companies donated for the raffle and parents who have their own companies and everyone got behind this amazing evening.”
