The Collars & Coats Gala Ball

Now in its 4th year, the Collars & Coats Gala Ball will once again be one of the hottest events on the London calendar. Held at Battersea Evolution and hosted by Amanda Holden and Paul O’ Grady MBE, with our now renowned line-up of star-studded entertainment and A-list red carpet, 2012 promises to deliver an event not to be missed.

Wining and dining in the company of some of the UK’s most celebrated personalities and high profile guests, you will be greeted to this spectacular evening by Battersea’s four legged residents in our unique Doggie Guard of Honour.

The previous  three years have seen stars of stage and screen unite with our closest friends and supporters for arguably the nation’s most loved animal charity.  Previous hosts have included Peter Andre and Amanda Holden with other famous faces joining us on the red carpet ranging from Simon Cowell and Dame Judi Dench, Catherine Tate, Louie Spence, Craig Revel-Horwood, Hilary Alexander, Nicky Clarke, Prunella Scales, Anthony Head, Dame Jacqueline Wilson, Cheska Hull, Dr Christian Jesson.

The event promises one of the capital’s most spectacular entertainment line-ups, with previous headlines including Brian May, Roger Daltrey, Roger Taylor, Patti Russo, Status Quo, Lulu, Alexandra Burke and Escala as well as live performances from the Phantom of the Opera.

Battersea is now in its 152nd year of caring for lost, unwanted and abandoned animals and it’s thanks to the kindness and generosity of our supporters that we have helped over 3 million animals and given them a second chance in life.

This year’s event box office is now open. We’d  love to see you at our very special gala ball and welcome you into our wonderful Home. We promise it will be a night like no other!
