Holly Ball - win tickets

18 November 2009

TICKETS for a festive spectacular are up for grabs this week.

Music and entertainment will be on the Christmas menu at The Holly Ball in the Winter Gardens next month.

The popular event, this year featuring the sounds of Abba Forever and The Man From Funkle, will be held on December 11.

Abba Forever has performed many international and national theatre tours, open air festivals, civic halls and corporate events, as well as numerous times on live television and radio broadcasts.

The group has visited Iceland, Austria, Romania, Denmark, Ireland, France and Norway and is now coming to Weston.

A considerable landmark in the group's career was its sixth sell out theatre tour of Sweden, the home of the original super group Abba, where they enjoyed standing ovations and an abundance of positive feedback from the audiences.

The Weston event, being held from 8pm-1am, will also feature a raffle in aid of the mayor's charities.

Tickets, priced £16-44.50, depending on whether they include dinner, are available from the box office on 01934 645544.

* To win one of five pairs of dance-only tickets (upgrade available) answer the following question:

In the tale A Christmas Carol what is the first and second name of the man who is visited by ghosts of his past, present or future?

Send your answer on a postcard, along with your name, address and telephone number to: Holly Ball Competition, Weston & Somerset Mercury, 32 Waterloo Street, Weston-super-Mare, BS23 1LW, by 12noon on December 3.

Usual Archant rules apply and the editor's decision is final.
