All the proceeds from the night will be going towards the 'development' of the football club, with the team having recently announced various plans to expand its output in the community.
This includes new sessions for women looking to get involved in the sport, at both junior and walking levels, as well as walking football in general.
The club received nearly £20,000 through the UKSPF earlier this month to help with these developments, with Saturday's fundraiser looking to boost these funds even further.
