A date has been set for the 25th anniversary charity Christmas ball in Ilkley.

This year’s Holly Ball will take place at the Craiglands Hotel, Cowpasture Road, on Saturday, December 10, raising money for Yorkshire Cancer Research.

A glittering ABBA tribute band will be the highlight of the evening’s entertainment. Guests can also expect a three-course dinner, a glass of bubbly on arrival, raffle, and dancing to the Rod Hepworth disco.

The event is this year being sponsored by Ilkley business Virtual College, but organiser Fiona Mann would also like to hear from anyone else willing to contribute or to donate raffle prizes.

Supporters will be acknowledged in a special menu and programme produced for the evening.
