HOSPICE fundraisers are hoping to entice film-lovers to dig out their Eighties clobber and get down to some dirty dancing.

Volunteers from St Luke’s Hospice, in Basildon, are hoping to give cinema-goers the time of their lives by organising a special screening of a popular chick flick.

The night out will see 1987 romantic blockbuster Dirty Dancing being sceened at the Towngate Theatre, in Basildon, on Thursday, August 21.

Tickets to watch the movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey are just £4 and revellers are being urged to go along in appropriate fancy dress.
