A GIN company will be a partner in a charity ball in aid of Barnardo's across North Yorkshire.

Harrogate-based company Slingsby Gin is to be silver partner at the Firecracker Ball at Rudding Park Hotel on Saturday, November 12.

Slingsby’s team of mixologists will provide Slingsby signature cocktails throughout the evening and a circus themed backdrop is to play host to the celebrations.

Marcus Black, co-founder and managing director, said: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Firecracker Ball for the second year running.

“Our Slingsby Gin bar will provide Slingsby Gin cocktails into the night and we’re looking forward to being part of such a prestigious event which will once again raise money for such a fantastic cause.”

Barnardo’s relationship manager Kirsty Guy said: “Funds are helping to make sure Barnardo’s in Yorkshire can continue to offer services that are in strong demand by the local community, including support for young people leaving care, young carers, and a holiday club for disabled children."
