The show, called Go Ape, will open with dances from Bexhill College performing arts students, then Maidstone band Ape will entertain the audience, playing music from across the generations.

There will also be a raffle and an auction of promises.

All money raised on the day will be split between Glyne Gap School in Bexhill, The Seven Stars Football Trust at Robertsbridge and the newly-formed Ted's Trust Fund.

Ted's mother Claire Bolton was killed when a tree fell on her car as she drove through Bodiam in January.

Ted, who was in the car at the time, was just four-weeks-old when the accident happened.

Claire, who lived in Staplehurst but previously from Hurst Green, is the cousin of organiser Jemima Needham's partner Steven.

Last month, Jemima told the Observer how the event could face losing up to £1,500 of charity cash after a businessman who promised to supply alcohol to the event withdrew the offer.

Fuller, Smith and Turner Brewery donated one hundred cans of London Pride to the event and following an article in the Observer, 120 cans of larger left over from another fundraising event were donated to Go Ape.

But despite contacting scores of breweries, vineyards and local businesses, no-one else came forward to help and Jemima, 25, of Etchingham, was forced to buy the rest of the alcohol from the supermarket.

The event is expected to attract up to 300 people.

It is the first time Go Ape has been held and if the event is a success, Jemima hopes the fundraiser will take place every year.

Tickets cost £7.50 in advance.
