A Rutland band is getting ready to perform at Stapleford Park this summer.

On 20 August, Funked Up will be back on stage just across the Rutland-Leicestershire border at Stapleford Park for an afternoon of music, food, drinks and good company.

The country house and hotel will play host to the popular local band and BBQ, organised by Carolyn Acton-Reed of Oakham & Rutland Events.

The BBQ will include burgers, sausages, chicken, potato salad, coleslaw, salad and a dessert, and dietary requests can be catered for.

Tickets will cost £15 - £35, but because the event is being organised by Carolyn, those who have subscribed to her Shop & Support Rutland Loyalty Card scheme will get a £5 discount.

If the weather is bad, the event will be held inside the Grand Hall, so don't let the Great British weather put you off.

Funked Up will cover party hits and pop classics from a range of artists, including The Beatles, Bruno Mars and Michael Jackson, and the bar will be open, so head down to Stapleton Park for an evening to remember.
