Now in its 8th year at UKISUG Connect, SUGFest is always a wonderful success and once again we’ve decided to mix it up a little and go back to basics. You are cordially invited to attend The Great SUGFest Ball. It’s time to get your gowns and dicky bows out of the wardrobe and join us for an elegant evening of entertainment and wonderful food. Bring your mask if you have one but don’t worry we’ll have plenty.
We are keeping SUGFest at the core of the event so you can still expect a choice of rooms, entertainment and food.
Our headliner band in the Ballroom this year. A truly wondrous collective of musicians and vocalists, all brimming with charisma and talent, who have proved themselves to be a sensational dance floor filling force!
1 band, 8 instruments, infinite fun! This band's brassy beats give soul to any party and will lift the roof off the ICC!
Comprising of three of the top jazz musicians in the South of the UK, Swing Blue can provide the perfect soundtrack to our masked SUGFest Ball.
There is nothing like live comedy. This year your host will be the wonderful Laura Lexx who has supported both Jason Manford and John Bishop on their most recent tours.She will be joined by the hilarious Ignacio Lopez , a frequent headliner in top comedy clubs all over the UK, and MC Hammersmith , one the most successful comedy headline acts on the circuit at the moment who has recently been signed up by Live National.
As you enter the ball, you’ll be welcomed with canapes and drinks. Browse and nibble at our grazing station and enjoy a delicious cheese selection with sommelier selected wines whilst being entertained by some of our fantastic musical acts.
Opening slightly later, the Ballroom will host our fantastic grand banquet. Take a seat and tantalise your tastebuds from our luxurious buffet and enjoy all of our fabulous acts throughout the evening.
Our casino is back again this year and opening slightly earlier at 21:00. Come and play blackjack, roulette, poker and the dollar wheel for a chance of winning some great prizes.
Manfords Comedy Club once again we’ll have 4 sets from our popular comedians throughout the evening. Definitely one not to miss!
