West Yorkshire’s Venue set to be transformed into Narnia-inspired set for charity ball

The Venue, in Barkisland, West Yorkshire, is set to be transformed into a Narnia-inspired set for one night only, in aid of Kirkwood Hospice’s annual charity ball.

The black-tie event, sponsored by Holmfirth Dyers, takes place on Saturday 10th November, and the people of Kirklees are now being invited to purchase their tickets.

Guests will step foot into the professionally-staged venue through a The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe-style coat-filled cupboard, before being treated to an evening of entertainment.

On arrival, reception drinks will be served, followed by a four-course dinner by Eric’s Restaurant – the official caterer of The Venue.

A Saxophonist is set to perform dance songs with her distinctive light up saxophone, followed by music from a band. A ‘Grand Auction’ and other fundraisers will also take place during the evening.

“This will most definitely be an immersive event, which is being designed to ‘wow’ our guests,” explains Kirkwood Hospice’s Kate Leadbeater.

“Our annual ball is always a night to remember, but this year we’re going bigger and better with the theme. Having Eric’s – as an established name in Huddersfield – as the caterer is amazing, and the saxophonist is incredible. She’s a tough act to book as she’s so in demand, so we’re excited for our guests to be entertained by her. What happens in Narnia, stays in Narnia, we say!”

Kirkwood Hospice provides care for local people living with life-limiting illnesses and support for their families and friends, free of charge.
