Classic Ibiza to raise funds for Chatsworth House Trust and Ashgate Hospice

Chatsworth House Trust maintains and preserves the house, garden, parkland and collections for everyone to enjoy. Every penny of the admissions it receives from visitors goes back into the charity, alongside money from sponsors, trusts, foundations and donors, to support the ever-expanding list of essential conservation, maintenance and restoration, as well as supporting its extensive learning and outreach programmes.

Chatsworth House Trust Director Jane Marriott says: “We are delighted to be hosting Classic Ibiza again in 2025, having welcomed thousands of visitors to the event last year, including many who may not have visited Chatsworth before. As a charity we are committed to encouraging new audiences to Chatsworth, including those who may not previously have felt that Chatsworth is a place for them; exciting events such as Classic Ibiza support this ambition. It is wonderful that Classic Ibiza is supporting both the Chatsworth House Trust and Ashgate Hospice charities.”

Ashgate Hospice provides free, compassionate care for adults in North Derbyshire living with life-limiting or incurable illnesses, including cancer and neurological diseases. Its specialist teams offer palliative and end of life care, helping people to stay comfortable and well-supported. Support also extends to those important to the person being cared for, offering both practical help and emotional support.

Charlotte Butterworth, Head of Fundraising at Ashgate Hospice, says: "We’re incredibly grateful to Classic Ibiza for choosing to support Ashgate Hospice once again. Every penny raised helps us continue providing specialist palliative and end of life care to people across North Derbyshire, including in the heart of the Peak District. The demand for our services continues to grow, and it’s only thanks to the generosity of our community that we can be there for those who need us. We can’t wait to be part of this fantastic event and hope everyone has an amazing time while making a real difference."

Making a donation couldn’t be easier, as there’s an option to donate when you purchase your tickets on Classic Ibiza’s website. There will also be various fundraising initiatives taking place at the show, including a £2.50 donation from every programme sold, a recommended £5 donation from press and guest-list entries, as well as collection points at all entry and exit gates. Further funds will be raised at the Ashgate Hospice shop, selling a range of fun merchandise.

Classic Ibiza raised a grand total of nearly £32,000 on last summer’s tour for charitable causes, an increase of over £10,000 from the previous year. Classic Ibiza’s Lisa Ward says: “Through the generosity of our incredible audiences up and down the country we continue to raise even more money for the amazing charities we support. Demand for this year’s show is high, so we hope to raise even more money than ever before. A massive thank you to everyone for their donations.”

This summer’s new-look Classic Ibiza will take you on a high-octane rollercoaster ride of the show’s most popular tracks from its 10 year back catalogue. Known for their work alongside dance music greats like Groove Armada, Robert Miles and Nightmares On Wax, Stephen Hussey’s 32-piece Urban Soul Orchestra will be performing more tracks than ever before in a set that is all thriller, no filler.

USO will be joined for the first time by the incredible London Community Gospel Choir, who have recorded with music icons such as Adele, Blur, Madonna and Gregory Porter. Supporting them on the decks are DJ Goldierocks and former Pacha Ibiza resident DJ Jose Luis.

Ticket sales are strong again for Classic Ibiza’s summer tour of our country’s best-loved stately homes, with several venues already at 50% capacity. For further information, visit: classicibiza.co.uk
