ENGLAND football legend Stuart Pearce is on his way to Bridgwater next month to help fundraise for a cause that is close to the hearts of many.
After a three year gap Bucks' Big Bash will return on Thursday, October 6 for another event raising funds for Blood Cancer UK and to remember Luke Buckingham.
Stuart Pearce is the special guest for the evening, which is to be held at Quantock Lakes, and will be telling tales of his career in football all while old friends get together for a celebratory evening.
Luke Buckingham sadly passed away in 2015 after a long battle with Leukaemia but his 'positive personality and incredible legacy' lives on today.
Organiser for the event, and close friend of Luke Buckingham, Ben Kirk said this event is about raising funds and remembering a great man.
"Luke was an amazing and positive person and we want his legacy to live on.
"He was the epitome of positive and made the most of his time on earth, he touched so many people and we hope these events help people to remind themselves of Luke's legacy."
Tickets for the event are available online at this Facebook event page.
"Please get in touch to book your ticket/s and share with anyone you think would enjoy the event and in the next 4 weeks, we will do all we can to make the evening as special as we can," Ben Kirk said.
"Luke Buckingham has a special place in all of our hearts and this event will raise money for Luke and Holly's chosen charity, Blood Cancer UK and ALL proceeds will be going to them.
"So far the total stands at over £94,000+ and we aim to get past this milestone."

Ben Kirk added: "It is important to note, that whilst it is important to us to raise money for this incredible charity, we also want to remember Luke and the positive, inspirational person he was.
"We cannot wait to see some familiar faces in three months time and we thank you all in advance for supporting us."
