Emmerdale Cast Members

This amazing event is taking place in Northern Ireland for the first time at the Ulster Folk & Transport Museum on Saturday 7th June 2008.

The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum will become the venue for the daytime Emmerdale Extravaganza and with a unique approach this amazing event brings the public together with celebrities of the popular television world for the largest fundraising extravaganza of its kind.

The Anthony Nolan Trust takes back lives from leukemia by providing lifesaving donors for patients in need of a bone marrow transplant.

Since 1974 they have helped to give over 5,800 children and adults a new chance of life. They heavily rely on events such as this to fund the amazing lifesaving work they do and raise the awareness of the cause in order to recruit and fund more potentially lifesaving donors.
