Glitter Ball this autumn

The most glamorous night of the year is back as Martin House Children’s Hospice’s Glitter Ball returns this October to support its capital appeal THE BUILD.

The black-tie ball, sponsored by HARIBO, takes place on Friday 11 October at Rudding Park Hotel in Harrogate, and this year is in aid of THE BUILD – Martin House’s £21.9m plan to extend and refurbish the hospice.

Maddie Massey, events manager at Martin House, said: “We’re delighted the Glitter Ball is returning to the award-winning Rudding Park this year, and we can’t wait to welcome our guests for a night of fine dining and live entertainment.”

The event, hosted by Nick Hancock of Your Harrogate radio, includes an elegant champagne reception, three-course dinner, live and online auctions with top prizes on offer, games, a live band and dancing.

Maddie added: “The Glitter Ball is our biggest single fundraising event of the year – and as this year the money raised will help us complete THE BUILD, we’re hoping this year’s event will be even more successful.

“Our guests can enjoy getting dressed up and enjoying a glamorous evening of entertainment, knowing they are supporting us to create the hospice that children, young people and their families deserve.”

Martin House cares for babies, children and young people with life-shortening conditions from across West, North and East Yorkshire, and is currently embarking on a major extension and refurbishment programme to ensure it can meet the needs of families for many more years.

Tickets are on sale now and cost £120 each, with tables of up to 12 people available.
