ABOUT
We’re pleased to announce details of this year’s Arabian Nights themed Summer Ball, which is taking place on Saturday 12th July at the four-star Whittlebury Park hotel nestled in rural Northampton.
This years’ event will be a fully immersive experience which will transport guests to a mystical Arabian oasis. The evening will include a cocktail and canapé reception and delicious three course middle eastern-inspired meal, with music from traditional folk band, the Mazaj Ensemble, who have performed at Glastonbury festival.
There will also be roving illusionists, dazzling belly dancers, who will teach guests some authentic moves, plus a live magic show from Magician of Year, Etienne Pradier, who was previously 3rd in the World Championships of Magic.
Guests can also be adorned with intricate designs at our henna bar, plus there will be an Arabian-inspired photo booth, photographic backdrop with authentic props, plus a DJ so guests can dance the night away.
We’ll also be holding a charity raffle, with some incredible prizes up for grabs. This year, all proceeds will be going to Missing People, the only UK charity dedicated to reconnecting missing people and their loved ones.
The Arabian Nights Summer Ball will bring together 250 guests from across our 45 member and associate member companies and will provide the perfect backdrop for networking with friends and colleagues from across the foundations industry. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to be part of this mesmerising event.
