Gala ball room set up

Havens Gala Ball

Following the success of the Havens Gala Ball in May we are delighted to announce the date for next year, Saturday 3rd May 2025 at the Cliffs Pavilion, Westcliff-on-Sea. Tables of 10 are available for £950, if you'd like to join us for an evening of celebrations please get in touch. 

Havens Gala Ball is one of the most exclusive and well-attended annual charity Balls in Essex, attracting between 280 and 350 guests. Past attendees have included, celebrities, individuals and local businesses. The Havens Gala Ball is an incredible and special event that allows us to increase awareness of Havens Hospices with our current supporters as well as engage with new ones, and of course, raise vital funds for our charity! Last year we raised an amazing £113,000 through sponsorship, ticket sales and money raised on the night. Havens Hospices needs to raise £124,000 a week to be able to provide the care that we do and so we are excited to see what is possible in 2025.

We still have other sponsorship opportunities, if you'd like to get involved. Detailed below are the sponsorship packages, and we are happy to discuss these packages in more detail with you. 

Sponsorship Opportunities

The event offers opportunities to promote your company to a new audience whilst supporting Havens Hospices and the vital work that we do caring for local families. Each package we offer provides you with an opportunity to host clients and team members as well as bring awareness to your business.

We are looking for sponsors to help towards the event expenditure so that more of the funds raised by those who take part will go directly towards caring for our patients and their families.
