About

Producing high quality entertainment at affordable prices.

About

Entertainment Events was established following the success of Home-Start Butser Events (2012–2022), a fundraising initiative that raised over £100,000 for local causes.

Since then, Entertainment Events Ltd has generated a further £180,000, with all revenue reinvested into event infrastructure, production costs, and charitable donations.

Run entirely on a voluntary basis, the organisation now operates in many respects like a professional events company; producing and promoting a portfolio of high-quality, financially accessible events, while also partnering with venues and organisations to deliver events collaboratively.

Our ethos remains unchanged: bringing people together through memorable experiences while supporting the community and local charities.

Our focus for 2026 is clear—to raise £30,000 for The Rosemary Foundation.

  • Tony Johnson - Performer in Residence

    Tony is a highly valued member of our Entertainment Events team, bringing his talent and versatility to our drama, musical theatre, and live musical entertainment.

    As an actor, Tony has captivated our audiences with his acclaimed one-man plays, taking on the role of Gus Gascoine in Anorak of Fire, starring in Starch (2024), and premiering his own original work in 2025, Living the Dream – A Bus Driver’s Lament.

  • Iain McClure - Event Support Team

    Iain is one of the unsung heroes of our events, quietly making sure that everything is in the right place at the right time. From transporting heavy equipment and building shelters to keeping the site safe and orderly, he works tirelessly to ensure each event runs smoothly. Often among the first to arrive and the last to leave, Iain’s dedication underpins the success of our festivals and performances.

  • Andrew Gibson - Event Support Team

    Andrew brings the same commitment and energy to every project, whether he’s assembling auditoriums, moving hundreds of chairs, or managing the many small but essential details that audiences never see. Always dependable and willing to get stuck in, Andrew’s behind-the-scenes work helps keep our events on track from start to finish.
