Forever Manchester and Mirror Ball organisers have today announced the fourth Halloween Spooktacular Ball will take place at a secret location in central Manchester on Saturday 29 October.
The party, organised by celebrity coiffure Andrew Trott Barn and his team, is second only in the city’s glamorous events calendar to it’s sister event The Mirror Ball which is held every March at The Lowry Hotel.
The Halloween Spooktacular was first held at the Radisson Blu Edwardian Manchester Hotel in 2014 and went on to double in size last year with a fabulous event in the home of street food marketplace Beat Street in the Great Northern. This year’s event promises something very different again as it gets even bigger with a top secret venue which will be released nearer to the event.
Much like The Mirror Ball, held for six years now at The Lowry Hotel, the event promises celebrity faces, glitz and spine chilling glamour as guests are requested to go all out with their fancy dress for the evening. Each Plus there are prizes for the best dressed on the night.
The event has some high profile fans with past guests including Brooke Vincent, Helen Flanagan, Hayley Tammadon and Chelsea Healey.
This year’s event is sponsored by award-winning Cloud Service Provider and Manchester business, ANS.
Chairman, Founder and longstanding Mirror Ball and Forever Manchester supporter Scott Fletcher said; “ I am a huge Mirror Ball fan. Andrew’s parties are legendary - he really knows how to pull out all the stops. Plus we are a Mancunian business through and through so it makes sense to support a genuinely local charity like Forever Manchester.”
The event will run from 7pm ‘til 1am and tickets are priced at £25, but are available at an early bird rate of £20 if booked before 30 September. Ghoulish guests will be entertained with live performances including DJs and a raffle.
Andrew comments; “There is no event to rival the fun of the Halloween Spooktacular. From year one we have been blown away by how much effort Manchester has put into dressing for the occasion. I am sure this year will be no different. The tickets will sell out this year so we are encouraging people to get theirs now to avoid missing out.
“And don’t forget it’s for charity - we have raised over £250k for Forever Manchester now and we would love to get to £300k by the end of the year. We are really grateful to the support of Scott and the ANS team as we couldn’t keep doing it without them.”
