The star-studded event is raising funds for two vital causes – the James Bulger Memorial Trust and Birmingham Children’s Hospital – with just a handful of tickets still available.

Beverley Knight, who was born in Wolverhampton and has become one of the UK’s most celebrated performers, will headline the evening with her powerhouse vocals and dynamic stage presence. With an Olivier Award, three MOBO Awards, an MBE, and collaborations with legends such as Prince, Chaka Khan, Tom Jones and Marvin Gaye, Beverley remains one of Britain’s most treasured talents.

Speaking ahead of the ball, Kym Morris BCA, Chairwoman of the James Bulger Memorial Trust, said: “We are overjoyed that Beverley is performing for us. She has always supported our charity, and Denise Fergus, James’ mother, is such a huge fan and is also attending the evening. To have Beverley here, in Staffordshire, supporting two causes so close to our hearts, means the world to us. The support from our local community has been incredible. I truly feel that Staffordshire is standing with us.”
