The event, at Star Meadow Sports Club, Darland Avenue, Gillingham, from 10.30am to 5.30pm, has been organised by Ann McKinnon, a play specialist on Dolphin ward at Medway Maritime.
The former Pride in Medway winner is hoping to raise funds for toys and electronic equipment such as portable DVD players. She said: “We want to raise money so we can buy new toys for our very brave patients.”
CBeebie’s star Phil Gallagher will be making an appearance, along with children’s characters and Gills head coach Ady Pennock.
There will be music, bouncy castle, stalls, a magician and entertainment by children from local dance schools.
Admission is 50p or free for accompanied children under the age of 16.
