The North East’s leading LGBT charity is hoping to raise “money, money, money” at its annual Black Tie Ball.

THE popular event on Saturday June 20, will feature a live performance by top tribute band Abba Girlz, as well as a three course meal created by 1879 Events Management.

Guests at the glamorous, black tie event, being held for the first time at The Beacon, Westgate Road, Newcastle, will also be able to take part in a variety of prize draws and dance the night away with a disco.

All proceeds from the Northern Pride Black Tie Ball, will be used to help fund the charity’s on-going work to promote equality and inclusivity, as well as the Newcastle Pride Festival 2015.

The three-day festival, now one of the largest free LGBT events in the UK, returns to Newcastle’s Town Moor from Friday July 17, with a bumper line-up celebrating 45 years of world Pride.

This includes headline performances by B*Witched and Belinda Carlisle, as well as more live music and family events throughout the weekend.
