Pomp and ceremony will be in abundance at next year’s Zoë’s Place Ball – with a theme of Kings and Queens.

Preparations are already well under way to ensure this exciting annual event on the Zoë’s Place calendar will be an occasion fit for a royal.

And what better location? Once again the venue will be Coombe Abbey, which is not only steeped in medieval history but was also once the home of Princess Elizabeth, daughter of King James I.

This will be the third year that the Zoë’s Place Business Group has organised this spectacular event which in the past two years has raised a staggering £100,000 for the Coventry baby hospice – and it is hoped that 2018 will hit a new record.

Once again Free Radio’s JD will compere the event and after a banquet fit for a king, guests will be entertained by Coventry band The Kicks.

Every penny raised on the night will go to Zoë’s Place annual running costs of £1.3 million per year.

Peter Jarvis, managing director of Warwick-based Contechs, is chairman of the Zoë’s Place Business Group – a group of business and community leaders from across Coventry and Warwickshire who joined forces in 2015 to support the charity and help keep its doors open 24/7.

He said: “The ball has proved to be a fantastic fundraiser for Zoë’s Place and a premier event in Coventry and Warwickshire’s social calendar.

“Not only are we reaching new heights each year, we are also welcoming new supporters as awareness of Zoë’s Place increases which is so important in helping the charity reach its targets.

“Zoë’s Place plays an incredibly important role in our local community as it provides a lifeline to both the children it cares for as well as their families and it is vital that this service continues. Events such as the ball give everyone a great opportunity to find out more about this fantastic charity and to learn how they can get involved, but also have fun at the same time.”

The Kings and Queens event takes place on Friday, May 18. Individual tickets for the event are priced at £60.

There are also Gold, Platinum and Diamond packages available for tables of ten at £600, £900 and £1,200. Sponsorship packages are also available at £1,500.
