Guests at the event, supported by The Beacon and 1879 Events Management, will enjoy a complimentary welcome drink, mouth-watering three – meal and the chance to win a host of prizes in a raffle and auction.

Proceeds from the Northern Pride Black Tie Ball will be used to help Newcastle Pride remain free to attend, cementing its status as one of the biggest free festivals in the UK.

Mark Nichols, Chair of Northern Pride, said: “Newcastle Pride is a huge event, drawing in visitors from across the UK and further afield.

Tickets for the Northern Pride Black Tie Ball, are priced at £28 per person or £250 for a table of £10.
