Esplanade has announced that tickets are now on sale for the 6th annual Esplanade & Thompson’s Charity Gala Dinner.
Esplanade will be transforming its car showroom in Cowes into an impressive entertainment venue and cannot wait to welcome supporters to their premises.
The evening’s menu will be once again generously supplied by top local chef Robert Thompson of Thompson’s Restaurant.
The event is unique to the Island as 100% of funds raised go directly to 3 chosen charities. All costs are covered by Esplanade and Robert Thomson. This year’s chosen charities are UKSA – Test the water programme, Isle of Wight Sports Foundation and Kissy Puppy – The Sophie Rolf Fund.
A total of £97,470 has so far been donated to local charities from the last 5 events.
As well as a fantastic 3-course meal guests will be treated to a whole host of entertainment including a live auction with Nick Bonham formerly of Bonhams Auctioneers taking control of the gavel, a raffle, fun games, casino, disco, photo booth and a caricaturist.
Organiser and Esplanade Marketing Manager, Gemma Swain, has said:
“We run our annual gala because as a business that works in an island community, we believe it is important to support local charities and promote the exceptional work that they do to making a positive difference to Islanders lives.

We have a wonderful number of patrons who have supported our event from the very beginning and tickets are already selling fast for this year’s Gala. Last year we held it in our showroom for the first time and we were bowled over by the positive reaction we had to the venue.
“We are pleased to once again be hosting the event in our premises and along with the menu and evenings planned entertainment it’s going to be the best Gala yet.”
The Esplanade & Thompson’s Charity Gala Dinner will be held on Saturday 7th October, tickets are limited and are already in great demand.
