Actor Peter Egan has organised and will be taking part in charity fundraisers for the Animals Asia Foundation.

On Sunday (May 19) there will be a guided walk on Hampstead Heath with funds going towards the charity which is devoted to ending the practice of bear bile farming and improving the welfare of animals in China and Vietnam. The group will meet at the Animals Asia gazebo near the Golders Hill Park disabled car park at 10.30am, and tickets cost £30.

A week later on Sunday (May 26), Peter Egan will be appearing in ‘an evening of humour’ at Burgh House in New End Square, Hampstead, with fellow actors Bob Daws and Amy Robbins of The Royle Family. Tickets cost £15 and the show begins at 7pm.

Tickets to both events can be bought by calling 01579 347 148 or emailing info@animalsasia.org.
