A charity boxing night raising funds for children with autism is returning to New Brighton.
Gloves Up For Autism takes place at Riptide on Victoria Road on Saturday 14 November, with an England versus Wales card of 10 fights.
Last year's event raised nearly £7,000 for specialist sensory equipment for schools. Organisers hope to match or beat that total.
Chris Duff, who organises the night and has a daughter with autism, said: "Our last event was incredible and we're really proud of how much we raised."
"Whether you're a lifelong boxing fan or not, it's a chance to get behind local men who are stepping into the ring to make a difference."
Funds raised last year bought sensory equipment from the Sensory Toy Shop, a local independent retailer, to help schools support children with autism and sensory needs.
Businesses can sponsor the night. A £300 package includes advertising in the programme, two tickets and a drink.
Tickets cost £25 and are available from Riptide. The evening starts at 7pm.
New Brighton also has festive things coming up, including local makers markets across Wirral through December.
Organisers say the real winners will be the children and schools who benefit from the money raised.
