The Wigan outfit will play an acoustic set at the intimate charity event just after Christmas this year.

The Lathums have announced an extra special festive event in aid of their charity.

The Wigan four-piece will perform an intimate, acoustic set at a post-Christmas party with all tickets going towards their Chance To See fund, which helps "children explore music and other creative opportunities".

The Christmas Pub Party, which will take place on 28th December at The Feast at The Mills in their hometown of Wigan, will be a one-night-only event and include support from Paul Molloy.

In order to be in with a chance of attending the intimate event, fans can order any format of the band's forthcoming album Matter Does Not Define (including their limited edition Acoustic CD) from Record Store UK before Thursday 12th December at 12pm.

Those who have made a purchase will then receive a ticket code to their email by Friday 13th December at 9am with tickets then going on sale at 10am on the same day.

The Wigan band teamed up with the cultural education charity Curious Minds to launch the Chance To See charity fund back in 2023, in order to help children and young people access creative opportunities in their hometown.

The fund takes its name from the lyrics to band's 2021 single, How Beautiful Life Can Be, where Moore sings: "Let the children have their chance to see/Just how beautiful life can be."
