Masked ball to celebrate midsummer

Monday 30th April 2012

Party-goers are being asked to glam up for a masked ball in aid of London's oldest children's hospice.

Richard House will benefit from the Midsummer Masked Ball, hosted by Hilton London at Canary Wharf, to raise funds for the hospice, in Beckton, east London.

Guests will be treated to a champagne reception, three-course meal and live entertainment.

Viv Talbot, community fundraising manager for Richard House, said: "This is a perfect way to celebrate midsummer. It should be a wonderful night out."

Half of the money raised from the event will go to Richard House, which cares for children with life-limiting, life-threatening or complex healthcare needs. The rest will be distributed by the Hilton Foundation as grants.

Tickets cost £50 per person. Prizes will be awarded for the best mask. To purchase a ticket call Viv on 020 7540 0213 or email VivT@richardhouse.org.uk.
