Tickets are still on sale for an evening of entertainment and high-quality food and drink, as the mayor invites everyone to a charity ball.

Happening on Saturday, February 11, at the Halston in Carlisle, Mike Mitchelson’s  Ball will include entertainment from Britain’s Got Talent star Steven Hall, singer Ashleigh Wood, bingo supremo Davy Heap, and smooth-talking Colin Carter.

Guests are invited to enjoy a glass of bubbly and a two-course meal to accompany the festivities.

All of the proceeds which will be raised from this event will be split between CFM Cash for Kids, Eden Valley Hospice Jigsaw Appeal, Carlisle Youth Zone and Carlisle Key, the latter of which is a local charity working with young people aged 16-25 who are homeless or at risk of being homeless.

Guests are asked to please help give these charities the very best start to the New Year with some much-needed funding.

Individual tickets are available priced at £40 per person or £400 for a table of 10.
