The first event takes place on Sunday 30th November during Bowgie’s lunchtime roasts, featuring a live performance from Rhys the Nightchurch Pianist.

A video of Rhys playing in 2024 went viral, leading to thousands of views and widespread praise. After initially keeping his identity quiet, he later stepped forward and held his first official charity concert at Truro Cathedral. Since then, Rhys has raised more than £25,000 for homeless and mental health charities, secured a record deal and was recently named South West Fundraiser of the Year at the Pride of Britain Awards.
