Hollywood style event to light up the Fylde Coast
The glamour of Hollywood’s silver screen is set to arrive on the Fylde Coast, as Fylde Coast Community Events (FCCE)hosts a spectacular Hollywood-inspired Character Dress Ball, bringing together the local community, businesses and supporters for an unforgettable evening in aid of Fylde Kids Foundation.
Guests will step onto the red carpet and into the world of classic cinema, with attendees encouraged to dress as legendary movie characters, iconic film stars or famous villains from the golden age of film. The event promises an evening of entertainment, glamour and community spirit while raising vital funds to support children and families across the Fylde Coast.
The evening will feature a three-course sit-down meal and a wide range of live entertainment throughout the night. Hosts Campy Galore and Dragalicious will lead the celebrations, alongside live vocal performances from Lauren Hope and a special warm-up performance from talented young local performer Bobby McNeal.
Guests can also enjoy live magicians entertaining throughout the evening, a pop-up casino, interactive games and entertainment, and a series of Best Dressed Awards recognising the most impressive costumes across several categories. The night will conclude with a DJ and dancing, ensuring the celebration continues well into the evening.
The event is organised by Fylde Coast Community Events, a community-focused events company created to deliver professionally organised large-scale events across the region. FCCE works alongside local charities, businesses and community groups to produce charity balls, awards evenings and community celebrations that help organisations raise funds while keeping costs accessible.
Importantly, profits from FCCE events help support the work of Fylde Kids Foundation, a local charity dedicated to supporting children and families facing hardship across the Fylde Coast. The foundation provides practical help including school uniforms, essential items and seasonal support projects, while working closely with volunteers, businesses and community partners to improve opportunities and wellbeing for young people in the area.
By combining entertainment, community spirit and charitable giving, the Hollywood Character Ball aims to create a memorable evening while making a meaningful difference to local families.
The Ball will be held at The Grand Hotel Blackpool on 2nd May from 6.30pm.
