Props from a canceled Willy Wonka-themed event in Glasgow were auctioned for over £2,000, benefitting Medical Aid for Palestinians, while a young actor from the event seizes an opportunity with the London Dungeon.
Props from a Willy Wonka-themed event in Glasgow, which garnered attention after being canceled and causing attendees to call the police, were auctioned for charity. The items, auctioned by Monorail Music, raised over £2,000 for Medical Aid for Palestinians. The auction attracted wide interest, including a bid from musician Ben Howard, and the winning bid amounted to £2,250. The props were found discarded outside the venue where the now-infamous event was held.
In related news, Felicia Dawkins, a 16-year-old from Glasgow, gained significant attention for her portrayal of The Unknown, a character from the same Willy Wonka event. Her performance went viral, leading to an opportunity to work with the London Dungeon, an establishment known for historical and horror-themed attractions. Dawkins, who had previously honed her scare-acting skills at the Edinburgh Dungeon, expressed excitement about her upcoming guest appearances at the London Dungeon.
The success of the charity auction and Dawkins’s newfound opportunities highlight the unexpected positive outcomes from the event’s fallout. The funds raised will support urgent medical aid in Gaza, while Dawkins looks forward to advancing her acting career within the horror and historical performance industry.
