On Friday 12th October we held our 30th Anniversary Fundraising Gala Dinner in the beautiful Vitsoe building, home to our creation space.
The space was filled with tables named after each of our shows, each adorned with beautiful flower centre-pieces generously provided by Sarah Horne Botanicals, with lighting from Table Art UK. We also had an exhibition and video on display to encourage our guests to see how our journey unfolded over the past 30 years.
Each of our guests dressed to impress and celebrated the evening with us in style with an array of delicious food created by Vitsoe’s resident chef, fresh bread from Haddie and Trilby and hand-picked wines from Wine Poole.
Throughout the evening we watched an excerpt of our latest acclaimed work, Charge as well as presenting two of our brand new duets, Knot and Happy Hour, all of which had an amazing response from our guests.
We also held a fun game of heads and tails, a raffle full of fabulous prizes and even included a silent auction with an array of marvelous Lots to bid on, to raise money for our new Talent Development fundraising campaign, helping us to extend the reach of our work with young people, offering them life-changing creative experiences including for example, extended work placements, classes and training, and opportunities to work with the professional company.
