Love Hartlepool, Love Eurovision!

People in Hartlepool are invited to don their wackiest fancy dress and party, party, party at a special free celebration to cheer on local singer Michael Rice when he represents the UK in the Eurovision Song Contest.

‘Love Hartlepool, Love Eurovision’ is at Hartlepool Town Hall Theatre on Saturday 18th May from 7pm ‘til 12am.

A large video screen will stream all the songs and silliness live from the competition finals in Tel Aviv into the Eurovision- themed auditorium.

Add to that a ‘Bongo’s Bingo’-style Eurovision Bingo with prizes, confetti cannons, spot prizes, dancing to Eurovision classics into the early hours and a pay-for bar, and this is one unique party that’s not to be missed!

The event is free but you need to book your tickets in advance by either booking online - www.destinationhartlepool.com, by phone 01429 890000 or in person at Hartlepool Tourist Information Centre, Church Square (open Tue - Fri 10am - 4.30pm, Sat 10 am - 4pm).

No large bags or backpacks will be allowed in the Town Hall Theatre.
