The sold out event was held as a fundraiser for Scarborough’s Rainbow Centre, with all ticket sales, sponsorship and every penny raised on the night being directly used to help the Rainbow Centre continue its important work in the community.
For this black tie event, The Funky Tuesday Choir greeted people in The Sun Court, before a lavish three-course meal in The Ocean Room.
Compere Paddy Billington, radio presenter, DJ and event host, made the night run smoothly with some games between courses before a raffle and auction with prizes donated from businesses within the community.
Guests then danced the night away to music from a DJ and The Huge Party Band.
In 2027, the Rainbow Ball will not will not take place as they will be celebrating 30 years of The Rainbow Centre, so they will be doing other events throughout the year.
The Rainbow Centre has been supporting vulnerable people in Scarborough for almost 28 years, helping the homeless as well as those in crisis. Visit https://therainbowcentre.org/ for more information.
