There will be a matinee and an evening performance on Saturday, July 15.

They will raise money for the Polly Haydock Appeal and the Kyle Buckley Fund.

Mum-of-three Polly, from Atherton, was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in October 2015 and last July she was given the news that she had just six months left to live.

She launched a fund-raising appeal to pay for treatment in Germany, which has so far passed £220,000.

Polly received a massive boost when Peter Kay held two question and answer sessions in Blackpool last year in her honour, raising £148,352.

A further show was held at Blackpool Opera House earlier this month to boost funds.

The latest show will also raise money for Kyle Buckley, a Bolton schoolboy battling a rare muscle tissue cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma.

Tickets for the new show go on sale at 9am on Friday.
