FAQS

How do I get tickets? 

Our tickets are available to buy now through this link. 

Tickets will be sold up until Friday 20th June, provided they have not sold out. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment! 

Can I buy a table for my business or as a group? 

Yes! There are 10 seats per table and you can book out a whole table. If you are coming as a group and wish to book individually but be guaranteed the same table, please contact us via email and we will reserve the table for you, so you can book online separately. 

Please note when you go through to book online there is a booking fee on all transactions, if you wish to pay via invoice or cash for your table, please contact us on fundraising@lancashirewomen.org 

Are men welcome to come? 

Of course – everyone over 18 is welcome! We want as many people as possible joining on the night to raise funds for our crucial services. 

What’s included in the ticket price? 

Included with your ticket is a welcome drink on arrival, a 3-course meal, and 80s themed entertainment! 

Is there a dress code? 

The theme is 80’s Glam, so dress to impress! Whether that’s in 80’s-inspired formalwear (think shoulder pads, sequins & bold colours) or a more timeless look like a glitzy tux or glamorous gown – we love a bit of sparkle and style. 

Do I have to wear 80’s fancy dress? 

Not at all! This isn’t a fancy dress party, so there’s no need to come in costume. But if you fancy nodding to the 80’s with a statement accessory, a bold print or a vintage vibe – go for it! The main thing is to dress up, feel great and enjoy the night. 

Is it okay to just wear regular evening wear? 

Absolutely. Think black-tie – with an optional 80’s twist! A sharp tux, sleek suit, cocktail dress or full-on glam gown is perfect. The dress code is flexible, but we do encourage guests to make a bit of an effort – it’s a special night for a great cause. 

Can I reserve a table? 

If you would like to put a deposit down to reserve a table and pay at a later date, please email us on fundraising@lancashirewomen.org 

I have dietary requirements, how do I let you know? 

If you are booking online make sure to add your dietary requirements to the booking form, if you would prefer to contact a member of the team, please email us at fundraising@lancashirewomen.org. 

Can I sponsor the event as a business? 

Yes! We are still looking for businesses to sponsor this event, drop us an email on fundraising@lancashirewomen.org to find out about our business sponsorship packages.
