JAM Roly Poly and Jeremy Spake will be on the menu when York Festival of Food and Drink visits the Yorkshire Air Museum next week.

The BBC Airline star is hosting a 1940s-themed evening at the museum in Elvington on Friday, September 19, to raise money for York Against Cancer, the festival's official charity for the second year.

Tickets for the event are £30 and include a 1940-style meal in the NAAFI and dancing to live music from Some Like It Hot.

Jeremy, who is also hosting an event at the Food Theatre on Saturday, September 20, will be donning his 1940s military best although organisers say that period dress is optional. All money raised will go towards York Against Cancer's psycho-oncology appeal, the campaign for a counselling service at York Hospital for patients with cancer.

To buy tickets to this event, call 01904 764466 or email office@yorkagainstcancer.org.uk
