The "Timeless Ball" event, hosted by Oldham Theatre Workshop's Friends Company, will see guests enjoy a night of entertainment, a three-course meal, live music, dancing and auction prizes.

The glittering evening will be held on Friday, September 29 at Chadderton Town Hall, Middleton Road.

All the proceeds from the event will be donated to Oldham Theatre Workshop Friends Company, which provides financial support to Oldham Theatre Workshop, enabling young people from Oldham and across the region to access its fantastic services.

Jen Edmondson, chair of the Friends Company, said: “We want the ball to be a celebration of all things Oldham Theatre Workshop, bringing together some of the best talent and entertainment in the region to help give something back and support the amazing work of our favourite theatre group.”

James Atherton, creative director at Oldham Theatre Workshop, added: “The Friends are key to helping us create new opportunities for all young people in Oldham, providing practical support, raising awareness and fundraising to enable the future development of our long-established and well-loved theatre company.

"I’m really excited about this event and would advise people to book their tickets sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on what’s sure to be a fantastic night."

Tickets can be booked via the Eventbrite site here for £50 per person, which includes a welcome drink, a three-course meal and all the night's entertainment.
