Terry Butcher to headline special World Cup charity event in Beaconsfield

Football and music fans are invited to a unique charity event at the National Film and Television School in Beaconsfield on Sunday 12 July 2026, celebrating one of England’s most memorable World Cup campaigns while raising vital funds for Combat2Coffee.

The special afternoon will feature legendary England captain and centre-half Terry Butcher, patron of Combat2Coffee, who will share personal memories and behind-the-scenes stories from his distinguished playing career, including England’s unforgettable journey to the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy.

This year marks 36 years since Terry Butcher captained England at Italia ’90, a tournament that captured the nation’s imagination. Supporters will fondly remember the dramatic semi-final against West Germany and the iconic soundtrack of that summer, with Luciano Pavarotti’s stirring performance of “Nessun Dorma” becoming synonymous with England’s World Cup adventure.

Following Terry’s talk, guests will enjoy a screening of the acclaimed concert film The Three Tenors: From Caracalla to the World, recalling the historic performance by Luciano Pavarotti, Plácido Domingo and José Carreras on the eve of the 1990 World Cup Final in Rome.

The event is being held in aid of Combat2Coffee, a charity dedicated to supporting Armed Forces veterans, serving personnel and their families across the UK. Through its cafés and community initiatives, the charity provides opportunities for connection, wellbeing and practical support for those who have served.

The event takes place at the National Film and Television School, 141 Station Road, Beaconsfield HP9 1LG.

Doors open at 3.30pm, with the event beginning at 4.30pm on Sunday 12 July 2026.

Tickets are £25, which includes a welcome drink, and are available via TicketSource through the Beaconsfield Film Society website at beaconsfieldfilmsociety.com.
