On Saturday 21st April the Lord Mayor of Bristol held a charity ball for underprivileged children. A red carpet event was held at the Dolman Stand hospitality facilities at Ashton Gate Stadium, home of Bristol City Football Club.
Met at the doors by a fantastic, colourfully dressed live band, and stilt walkers, the theme of the evening was Venetian and one of the requirements was that all attending wear a mask.
The proceedings were commenced by a receiving line from the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress and a champagne reception. Food was of course Italian themed and later in the evening Carol Vorderman and Noel Edmonds hosted a charity auction, in order to raise even more funds for local deprived children.
Local bands and groups were well represented, the crowd of 500 guests enjoyed the music and dancing and all seemed to have a thoroughly good time, as well as raising much needed funds.
This is the first of this type of event, held by the Lord Mayor and as it was clearly such a resounding success, no doubt it will not be the last.
