You can now buy your tickets for the ball, Please note that there are only 90 spaces available at this time, and this is first come first serve, However we are hoping to increase this 270.

Please know that though you will have bought a ticket, this doesn't 100% guarantee you will be able to go. This is due to us not having confirmation from the venue about the availability of each upgraded capacity room type. We are there for taking a first come first served approach, meaning the earlier you buy your ticket the more likely your spaces will be guaranteed. If we are unable to fit you in due to capciety and the larger room no longer being available you will receive a full refund.
