Spice ‘Midlands’ Magical Summer Ball

One of the most essential events in the Spice Summer programme is our annual Summer Ball. This is always a very special occasion, but this year we have added some extra magic and glamour to ensure that this one will be totally unmissable. 

This year, the West and East Midlands Summer Ball will be at the Crowne Plaza Hotel on the banks of the River Avon in the magical heart of Shakespeare’s Stratford. We have also commissioned a skilled magician to entertain you with some spell binding tricks and add some extra sparkle to this glamorous night. 

You can also be sure of lovely food, great company, and dancing until late with our ever-popular DJ, Max. We expect it to be a great reunion of Spice friends from the Midlands and further afield. 

Reception: We will meet from early evening for pre drinks in the bar and garden areas to give us the opportunity to catch up with Spice friends – old friends, new friends and best of all, those friendships yet to be made on the night! 

The Magician: Some of you may remember a few years ago when Close Up Magician Robert Gough brought a touch of magic to another of our fabulous parties. Robert will mingle with us before and during the dinner to amaze us with his magic. 

The Party: You can look forward to a sumptuous, formal three course dinner. We will take seating requests, but don’t worry if you don’t know anyone as we will take care to seat everyone with people who we think they’ll bond with. After dinner our DJ will keep the dance floor full with a wide range of music that will take us into the small hours of Sunday.  

What to Wear: As ever, we don’t prescribe a dress code as such, but as the event is at a prestigious 4* hotel, in a beautiful town, why not ‘dress to impress’ with a black tie and cocktail dress attire! or if you prefer a smart approach.

Table Plan: Please let us know if you have any specific seating requests. We will endeavour to meet all requests. The tables are likely to be for 10, so if you want to bring a table sized group, please let us have the names when booking and we'll reserve a complete table for you.

Staying Over: As usual, there will also be the option to stay over for the party night or even make a weekend of it, enjoying the hotels pool and fitness centre and the beautiful town of Stratford upon Avon with its many world class attractions that Warwickshire and Stratford upon on Avon has to offer. Just select the relevant Party Only or Party with accommodation. 

Make a weekend of it: We are in such a lovely and interesting area we are offering this as a party weekend. As well as the party there will be a programme of walks and touristy activities. Please use this link if you want to book the whole weekend.
