SIX Salisbury professionals are set to be jailed – and the public is being asked to help bail them out.

Salisbury Hospice Charity’s Jail and Bail fundraiser returns again this year on Friday, June 13 which will see six people charged with some seriously silly workplace crimes.

The only way out? Each jailbird must raise £999 in ‘bail’ money to secure their freedom, all in support of Salisbury Hospice Charity.

From 8.30am, the charity jailbirds will be dramatically arrested and marched through town by Wiltshire Police to the Guildhall, where the irrepressible town crier Jef Hutchby will bellow their crimes for all to hear for this one-of-a-kind courtroom comedy.

Watch the drama unfold as judge Wendy Warwick White presides over each mock trial — hearing the charges, the pleas, and reviewing ‘evidence’ of some seriously silly workplace mischief.

Spoiler alert: they’re all going down.

A Salisbury Hospice spokesperson said: “Once found guilty (which they inevitably will), our fundraising felons won’t be getting off lightly.

“Executioner Charlie Pitcher will be on hand to haul them away in rope cuffs to their ‘Salisbury Jail House’ cells at Live Escape Rooms Salisbury.

“But the fun doesn’t stop there. Throughout the afternoon, these jailbirds will be granted ‘exercise time’ — patrolling the city centre in full costume, pleading their case to passers-by and rallying donations from anyone willing to ‘bail’ them out all in the name of charity.”

To help bail the prisoners out, people are asked to visit www.salisburyhospicecharity.org.uk/event/jail-bail on June 13 to donate to their favourite prisoner’s fundraising page.

Meet the prisoners

Christian Airey – business director of Wessex Care

Crime: Pilates Fugitive. Caught sneaking out of work every Friday dressed in spandex and yoga shoes… he claims it’s “important work stuff.”

The jury’s not buying it.

Andy North – president of Salisbury & District Chamber of Commerce

Crime: The Positivity Perpetrator. This Positivity Perpetrator has been disrupting boardrooms with relentless enthusiasm and inspirational quotes.

Even the coffee machine short-circuited from the energy.

Martin Rossiter – partner at PKF Francis Clark

Crime: Recreational Misconduct Mastermind. Zooming through hallways on tiny bikes and declaring impromptu cake o’clock with a megaphone – Martin’s office antics have sparked uncontrollable laughter and brought productivity to a standstill.

Dave Hearn – director of Sarum Properties

Crime: Midday Munch Mobster. Known far and wide as the Midday Munch Mobster, Dave’s been slipping away for mystery lunches with local ne’er-do-wells—leaving hardworking colleagues to slowly waste away. … the roast dinners were the final straw.

Anthony Rice – senior manager at S&W

Crime: Linguistic Manslaughter. Tax expert turned language outlaw, Anthony’s baffling phrases like “if it quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, it will be taxed like a duck,” has left colleagues Googling ‘duck tax laws’ and leaving dictionaries traumatised.

Craig Haywood – store manager Tesco Extra Salisbury

Crime: Workaholic Whiz. While most of us are perfecting our ‘out of office’ replies, Craig’s sending strategy emails from sun loungers and spreadsheets from the gym.

Guilty of workaholism in the first degree, he’s been sentenced to enforced relaxation (and yes, it’s in his calendar).
