The Mayor of Knutsford’s Summer Ball has been postponed. The glamourous fundraising event promised to give Knutsford residents a welcome opportunity for fun and dancing while supporting The Mayoral Charites but to comply with government requirements the event will now be a fabulous Autumn Ball.

The ball is the Town Mayor’s biggest fundraising event of the year and promises to be a fun filled evening with entertainment from Fun Time Frankie’s band, a DJ and a close up magician.

Town Mayor Cllr Stewart Gardiner said; ‘While I am clearly disappointed at having to cancel the Summer Ball, I am hoping that moving the event to early Autumn will be an opportunity for everyone (including those who have been reticent about getting out and about in July) to come together for a fabulous evening of good food, fine wine and quality entertainment.

“So put the date in your diary, dust off your glad rags (or even use it as an excuse to splash out on some new ones) polish your dancing shoes and limber up to make some shapes on the dance floor. 

However, let us remember the reason for this event is to raise lots of money for two local and worthwhile charities while celebrating being out and having some fun. I would like to thank the Mere and all those involved in the Summer event for agreeing to the rescheduled date and I look forward to working with you all to make October 9th a night to remember.”

Tickets are available for the night at £48 per person for a delicious 3-course meal, arrival drink and entertainment.  To book your place you can contact the Civic Events Officer Michelle Bate on 01565 653929 or email michelle.bate@knutsfordtowncouncil.gov.uk.

Raffle tickets are also now on sale for the Mayor’s Prize Draw at £2 each with a range of great prizes up for grabs. The raffle will be drawn at the Ball but anyone can purchase tickets by contacting Michelle or visiting the Council Offices.
