Collars & Coats Gala Ball

Battersea Dogs & Cats Home’s annual world-famous Collars & Coats Gala Ball, proudly supported by Henry Wiltshire International, returns with a bang for a seventh year on Thursday 12 November 2015.

Taking place at Evolution, an exclusive venue set in the grounds of Battersea Park, this spectacular night of entertainment and glamour brings together the biggest names from stage, screen, sport, and fashion to celebrate and support the animal charity’s vital work caring for lost and abandoned dogs and cats.

The star-studded fundraising ball always attracts a stellar guest list of renowned Battersea friends and supporters including the charity’s Ambassadors Paul O’Grady MBE, David Gandy, Dame Jacqueline Wilson OBE, and Amanda Holden. An electrifying evening of entertainment is in store this year with performances from the show-stopping burlesque troupe Crazy Rouge, internationally renowned classical artist Camilla Kerslake and the undisputed music legend that is Bryan Ferry.

A highlight on the London social calendar, the prestigious evening will open with its unmissable welcome by the Home’s legendary Guard of Honour, a red carpet lined with dozens of Battersea dogs and their handlers. As guests arrive at the Ball they’ll meet dogs of all breeds and sizes that have seen their life turned around in the care of Battersea’s committed staff and volunteers. The Collars & Coats Gala Ball is all about helping Battersea transform even more lives and give hope to thousands of dogs and cats every year. The event will introduce some of the charity’s former residents that have been given a vital lifeline and give supporters a chance to bid for money-can’t buy exclusive auction prizes with the monies raised helping dogs and cats in need.
