Annual fundraising ball for Arts on Prescription, the charity's fifth edition, with best-dressed prize, raffle and Santa collecting for children in need.
Arts on Prescription are back with their fifth Winter Wonderland Snowflake Ball on Saturday 5 December, at St Leonards Church on Pevensey Road. It's their big annual fundraiser, and they've billed it as their party of the year — the kind of thing you use to kick off the Christmas season properly. The money goes towards their accessible adult and family art and nature creative wellbeing activities for people whose mental health is impacted, which they run from Art in the Park, their volunteer-led community hub in Alexandra Park.
There's a fair bit to do on the night. Along with the dancing and the glamour, there's a raffle, Tarot readings, and foot massages. Santa will be around collecting for children in need, and guests are asked to bring along a new unwrapped gift to donate. If you're feeling particularly festive, there's a prize for the best dressed, so it's a good excuse to lean into the theme. Under-18s are welcome as long as they're with a parent or legal guardian.
One change this year is the venue. The ball has moved to St Leonards Church to be more wheelchair-friendly and accessible, so it's easier for more people to get involved. It's also worth knowing a bit about the charity itself: the Arts on Prescription logo was designed by Sir Quentin Blake, who loved their work. That's the kind of detail that sits behind the scenes of what they do in Alexandra Park.
