Classic's Si Morris-Green to host Come Dine With Me-style dinner for Ukraine

Entertainment will be provided by Classic PR manager Andrew Farr, who will host the night and sing. Most of the guests are from the travel industry, with some coming down from as far as Birmingham to attend.

"I was overwhelmed with the amount of messages we got from people saying they wished we lived nearer," said Morris-Green. "It’s a model for other people to do this across the country".
