If there's an event that's guaranteed to get the city's movers and shakers into their black ties and cocktail dresses, it's the Star Ball at the Hilton.
If you want to help a very worthy cause while enjoying a glitzy night out with star-studded entertainment, this is a fantastic event to support.
This annual charity ball is organised by the hotel itself to raise funds for their charity Hilton in the Community Foundation and a partner charity, which changes each year.
In 2010 it will be Destination Florida which organises once-in-a-lifetime holidays for children who have missed out on the fun of childhood because of illness. This small charity, based in the North, takes a group of around 75 children to Florida every two years. It's a meticulously planned trip involving a large volunteer support team of doctors, nurses and other carers.
Destination Florida is a good match for the Hilton in the Community Foundation which makes grant to charities that help disadvantaged children have a brighter future.
This year's Star Ball will be held at the Manchester Hilton on Saturday 9 October. The night will include a sparkling drinks reception, a four-course dinner, and entertainment from top performers.
The surprise bill for last year's Star Ball featured chart topper Taoi Cruz, soul queen Beverley Knight and Hed Kandi dance act Booty Luv. This year's acts haven't been announced yet but expect a strong line-up of established names.
