On Thursday 25th October, Cancer Support Scotland will launch the charity première of James Bond’s ‘Skyfall’ at the Odeon Kilmarnock.
Thanks to a top secret deal struck between Cancer Support Scotland, the Odeon and Mr Bond himself, 007 fans will experience the thrill of a Bond-themed première. The mission begins on the 25th of October at 6.30pm, a full 24 hours before the official UK launch.
The exclusive red carpet event will be hosted by Clyde 1 DJ Suzie McGuire and boast Aston Martins, Bond girls, live entertainment and Bond-themed prizes. All guests to the glitzy premiere will stroll down the red carpet, be snapped by the “paps” and welcomed with a refreshing drink courtesy of Heineken. Every attendee will also have the chance of winning an array of Bond themed raffle prizes and will leave with a goodie bag. Doors will open at 6.30pm with the exclusive showing of ‘Skyfall’ beginning at 8pm.
Donna King, assistant manager of the Kilmarnock Odeon store said: “This will be a great chance for people to not only celebrate the new Bond film but also allow fans to watch the film a day earlier than the official launch date. This will be an exciting night which will also be raising money for a great cause.” All money made from the event will go to Cancer Support Scotland.
Cancer Support Scotland Chief Executive, Colin Graham said: “This is an exciting event for our charity, which will be celebrated in style! Not only will this raise money for Cancer Support it will be a great chance for people to see the new Bond film before anyone else!”.
The event is open to everybody and attendees are encouraged to don a tuxedo, dress up and get into the spirit of the event. All profits from the event will go to Cancer Support Scotland, allowing them to continue their vital work for cancer patients and their families.
