Christmas ball a sparkling success!

Mottram Hall’s beautiful St Andrew’s Suite sparkled with glitz and glamour as over 200 guests gathered at the Cheshire hotel for an unforgettable evening in support of Francis House.

Guests at our December Winter Sparkle Ball were greeted with a champagne reception, followed by a three-course meal and entertainment by Dominic Halpin & the Honey-B’s Party Band.

The evening was hosted by Darren Proctor of Happy Radio, who led an exciting auction packed with superb prizes.

DJ Martin Thornton kept the party atmosphere alive and the dance floor full with a selection of classic tunes, which had guests dancing through to the early hours.

Thanks to the generosity of guests, an amazing £40,000 in profit was raised.

Susie Poppitt, Events Organiser, said: ‘We must say a big thank you to all our guests for their incredible support and generosity. All the money raised goes directly to the hospice, which gives children and young people with life limiting conditions and their families the care they need at this special time of year.’
