A fundraising ball held at Painswick's Broadham Fields

The Painswick Summer Charity Ball returned with a Venetian-themed masquerade event on the town's Broadham Fields.

Around 330 guests enjoyed a evening of music, food, wine and dancing while raising much-needed funds for local charity Mindsong – making music accessible for people with dementia across the county – and Pancreatic Cancer UK, who aim to transform the future for everyone affected by pancreatic cancer. The evening raised an astonishing £14,500 to help the two organisations.
