A wonderful Midsummer evening at The Grade 1 listed Moreton House, commencing with a reception in the main house with bubbly and canapes followed by a sumptuous three course dinner, served in the Midsummer themed marquee with fairy lights, summer flowers and plenty of sparkle. The dinner (with wine) includes Dorset crab salad, Lamb Curry with Coconut and Ginger, served with wild rice and a mangetout and toasted almond salad, followed by Fresh Fruit and Almond Tart, and coffee and chocolates.  There are vegetarian options and other dietary requirements of course!

The hilarious Charlie Bicknell will provide the entertainment , who if you came to The Black and White Ball, you will remember well! Do take a look via http://www.charliebicknell.com/ The highly entertaining Garry Batt will also be teasing us all with some wonderful auction of promises, most of which will be on line through Galabid, who are supporting the evening. There will be a full professional bar ‘ on tap’ while DJ Steve Carpenter from Wessex FM will keep you on the dance floor!

The Midsummer Ball will raise funds to support resources and activities for children in schools, youth and sports clubs across the South West to learn to stay safe around alcohol. This will also include training teachers, youth and community leaders in using interactive and engaging approaches as well as equipping parents with the skills needed to reduce negative risk taking. Funds will also support the build of a dedicated café and community space for the charity in an area with 33% social housing with no youth provision at present. The café will help provide sustainability for the AET by providing an income.
