An accessible weekend of music and fun for young people and families.
Monday 15th September 2025

We are delighted to announce that Greens Restaurant in West Didsbury is to again play host to an evening of Gourmet food to help raise funds for Francis House.
An imaginative 3 course vegetarian dinner will be prepared by chef and Channel 4 Sunday Brunch presenter Simon Rimmer and his talented team at the award winning restaurant on Lapwing Lane, which Simon owns with his business partner Simon Connolly.
It’s the fourth time Greens have held the gourmet evening for Francis House and proceeds have totalled over £8,000.
A confirmed celebrity contestant on this year’s Strictly Come Dancing 2017, Simon took time out of his busy schedule back in May to open the new kitchen at Francs House.
The Evening at Greens is being held on Wednesday 8, November, tickets are £45 per person and include a drink on arrival. To book contact Lucy Thompson at Francis House Children’s Hospice on 0161 443 2200.
This event is now SOLD OUT.
An accessible weekend of music and fun for young people and families.
