On the night (Saturday 7th March) there will be two online broadcasts hosted by Fred MacAulay. These will be a mix of dinner parties, case studies of patients in Africa and short films about the inspirational work of 500 miles (Mr Foodie took part in a film this week about the Lord Provost Malawi Fund, of which he is a volunteer).

The first broadcast will go out at 7.30pm, and the second will show at 10.30pm.

These will include a performance of the Proclaimer’s “I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)” with new lyrics written specially for the BIG dinner.

The climax of the night will be the online auction of a celebrity dinner date as well as an update on how many dinners are taking place and how much money is being raised – all whilst you host your own dinner!

Take the first step – start the big dinner journey.
