North Devon historic home to host evening of glitz and glamour in aid of hospital charity

An evening of glitz, glamour and giving is being held at one of North Devon’s most historic homes in aid of the Over and Above.

The hospital charity’s Late Summer Ball takes place at Tawstock Court near Barnstaple on September 16 and tickets are on sale now.

Guests will enjoy drinks, canapés and live music on the lawns with Miniature Violinist, Rebecca Balzani Barrow, before heading inside the recently renovated Georgian manor house for a two-course dinner.

The black-tie event, compered by local media personality Seth Conway, will also feature a live charity auction, followed by music and dancing to Bicycle Repair Man.

Josh Allan, fundraising manager for Over and Above, said the event promised to be the perfect seasonal sundowner with a twist of glamour and historic period charm.

“Our Late Summer Ball promises to be a very special evening in one of North Devon’s most special buildings,” he said.

“The event is a great way to get together with friends and raise some money to help our hospital go the extra mile for local patients and their families.

“We’re very grateful to Blue Elephant Childcare for kindly sponsoring our Late Summer Ball, meaning the event will go even further to enhance local healthcare.”

Tickets are £50 per person, or £500 for a table of 10, and are available online at www.overandabove.enthuse.com/cf/late-summer-ball
