A cafe will host an ‘open stage night’ to raise cash to help a seriously-ill four-year-old girl.

Cafe Hope, in Central Hall, Keighley, is the venue for the free event which will run from 7.30pm to 11pm on Wednesday, May 1.

Proceeds will go to Nerea Lee Torres, who lives in Spain but whose father Matthew Lee is from Keighley. Nerea has an inoperable brain tumour, and was given just six months to live in May last year.

Tracey Thomas, who runs Cafe Hope, is backing the drive to raise cash to fund Nerea’s specialist medication.

Singer - songwriter Jularah and blues soloist Ben “Blue” Waters are organising the open-stage night. They said it would be open to all types of performers, not just musicians.

However, people wanting to perform should first contact 077960 78857.
