A NIGHTCLUB is set to raise funds for The Bolton News’ Marie Curie Nurses Appeal during Bolton’s Boxing Day fancy dress bonanza.

J2, in Nelson Square, will collect funds for the charity and is hoping revellers will add to the party atmosphere by coming in fancy dress.

Last year more than 1,500 revellers partied in the town in fancy dress on Boxing Day.

The event was set up to rival Wigan’s annual Boxing Day festivities.

This year, more pubs and clubs have signed up to take part, including The Bar, J2, The Attic, Chic, Vogue, Yates’s, BL1, Brass Cat and Varsity.
