THE Only Way is Essex star Mark Wright will host a glamorous black tie event in Chislehurst, featuring performances from 80s legends including Alexander O’Neal.

This year’s Chislehurst Ball, on September 21, promises to be bigger and better than ever with the organisers say they “have pulled out all the stops”.

Formerly the Foxbury Ball, it claims to be the largest and most prestigious ball in Kent, attracting over 2,000 guests, embracing local businesses and residents and raising money for Help for Heroes.

As well as food, fun, performers Alexander O’Neal, Kenny Thomas, Phil Fearon, Baby D and DJ Greg Edwards, the evening at Old Elthamians in Foxbury Avenue will feature a fun fair with dodgems, a big wheel, bucking bronco, candy floss and popcorn.

Previous years have attracted showbiz names such as actors Vinnie Jones, Danny Dyer and Tamar Hussein as well as footballers Jimmy Bullard, Paul Elliot and Denis Wise.

Tickets cost £95 including food, or £75 without. Go to thechislehurstball.co.uk or call 07967499562.
