AN AUCTION is being held by the organisers of Kesgrave Music Festival tonight to raise money for St Elizabeth Hospice.

It is hoped the event, which takes place at The Bell, Kesgrave, at 7.30pm, will raise awareness about next week's festival.

The auction will feature 55 lots with items including games, a night at the Salthouse Hotel and sports memorabilia.

Ipswich Town legend Kevin Beattie will be attending the evening to sign copies of his book and assist the auction, and boys from the Ipswich Town Academy will also be on hand to sign autographs.

It costs £1 to buy a programme and register for the auction.

Every penny will go to the hospice.
