About this Event

JOIN US FOR A FORMAL EVENING TO CELEBRATE OUR 18-35 SOCIAL GROUPS IN THE NORTH OF THE UK.

Hosted in Manchester but open to anyone from anywhere, particularly if you're a part of Leeds, Liverpool or London Social Society!

We start at 8:30pm as it is a Friday, to give people chance to get home from work, but don't worry we will be partying into the night!

Tickets are great value for money, including:

  • Prosecco reception on arrival
  • Christmassy Canapes & Cake
  • 1x Drinks Token
  • Personalised Christmas photobooth
  • Charity raffle for Butterfly AVM Charity
  • Resident DJ AND Live Music
  • Photography
  • Plus we are at the beautiful Grosvenor, my favourite venue in Manchester- there is a ball pit, karaoke pods and a photobooth there!

Dinner is comprised of 4 canapes per person, followed by cake (because who doesn't love cake)

Mini meatballs with cranberry sauce

Pizza bites - margherita

Festive turkey and cranberry sliders

Pigs in blankets skewers

If you have dietary requirements and require an alternative please email [email protected] to arrange at least one week before.

This event is open to ANYONE that would like to join - no matter which social society you are from, or if you have never been before, the whole point of our events is to make friends!

Dress Code:

For some of us, getting to dress up fancy is the highlight of the year! For others, it is a nightmare. We want to make it easy for everyone to enjoy our ball:

Guys: Shirt and trousers combo is a necessary, please don’t show up in jeans and a t-shirt!It’s really up to you if you want to go ALL out with the bow tie and jacket, I’m all for it, but you won’t look out of place if you do or don’t!

Dolls: Whatever you’re comfortable in, as long as it is leaning towards formal. I recommend the maxi dress and heels combo! (with flip flops for later when your feet hurt lol)

If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message!

We will be doing a raffle to raise money for the Butterfly AVM charity. I have chosen this charity as I was diagnosed with a large brain AVM in 2023, for which I have had 3 brain surgeries and nearly lost my life. Thankfully I have recovered now but this charity is so close to my heart, they do a lot of important AVM research into developing the new and innovative treatments we see today, like the one that saved me <3
