THE Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust (GWCT) is pulling out all the stops for the celebration of its 40th London Charity Ball.

Being held in the luxurious Savoy Hotel in London on Wednesday November 20th, the stage is set for what promises to be another memorable night.

A champagne reception, with an array of scrumptious canapes, will be followed by a mouth-watering dinner.

There will also be gin cocktails, Hook Norton Brewery Ale, live entertainment, a laser shoot, photo booth and a Vodka Partridge Luge sponsored by Eight Vodka to enjoy.

Furthermore, a host of stunning auction lots are up for grabs including a safari tour in South Africa’s Tswalu Kalahari Reserve where you might see the Big Five, a tour of the McLaren Formula 1 Centre, a seven-day stay in the Caribbean, grouse, pheasant and partridge shoot days and much more.

Eleanor Usborne, who works in GWCT’s London events team, said: “With 40 years of achievement and progress behind us, we have something truly special to celebrate at next month’s event.”

“Last year we raised £180,000 - a truly fantastic result which could not have been achieved without the generosity of those there on the night and all of the donors who kindly supported the evening.

“We very much look forward to welcoming you.”
