We hope you can join us for a beautiful evening at the 4th Spectrum Black Tie Ball on Saturday, May 13th 2023, at our exceptional partners at the Hilton Hotel Cambridge City Centre. The event runs from 630 pm to midnight, has a vintage theme and is adult only attendance.
The evening is our special fundraising annual event for 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 beautiful three-course menu. The skills of elite magician Luke Clough are on hand, and live music from the beautiful and wonderfully talented The Knightingales vocal trio takes us back to the 1940s and through to the modern era! Our DJ, Josh Lovatt, from the Star Radio Breakfast Show, will also be there on the night to keep you on your feet. We also continue to look to add some further fun elements to the evening.
We recommend booking quickly for this event if you are planning to attend, as we have seen the vast majority of places go in a few days of launch for our previous Balls, especially where you are looking to secure a whole table or more.
Ticket Costs & Tables
The cost to attend this adults-only event is £75.00 per person and is on a first-come, first-served basis (deposit and pay in full options available). The ticket cost covers your three-course meal, entertainment for the evening and welcome drinks on arrival. There are 100 places available for the evening arranged in tables of up to 10. It is possible to book a complete table of 10 subject to availability. All booking requests must be made via the form below.
Dress Code & Vintage Theme
The dress code for the evening, in general, is black tie, but we would love to see a wonderful collection of vintage swing and pencil dresses from the 1940s/1950s to mark the occasion and match our theme for the night! It’s a perfect opportunity to recreate some of the stunning hairstyles and looks from the past too!
