We hope you can join us for a beautiful evening at the Spectrum Black Tie Ball on Saturday, September 18th 2027, at our exceptional partners at the Hilton Hotel Cambridge City Centre. The event runs from 7pm to midnight, has a 80s & 90s theme, and is for 16+ audiences.
We are truly delighted to welcome back the exceptional Beccy Lane and Emily Martine Day as they take us back down memory lane and through the 80s and 90s with their stunning vocals.
The evening is our special annual event at Spectrum, our parent-led charity supporting children with Autism, additional needs and disabilities alongside their families and carers. The proceeds from the evening go to help fund the events and support that we provide for those we work with, as well as increasing inclusion and reducing isolation.
Welcome drinks await you on arrival, as our evening centres around a sumptuous three-course menu. The skills of elite magician Luke Clough are on hand, and live music from the exceptional “The Knightingales”. Our DJ, the one and only, Josh Lovatt, will also be there on the night to keep you on your feet.
We recommend booking quickly for this event if you are planning to attend, as we have seen the vast majority of places go quickly with previous Balls, especially where you are looking to secure a whole table or more.
