It was an evening of mystery and intrigue as King’s School parents arrived decked out in glamorous masks for the annual fundraising ball which took place at The Hill Top Country House in Prestbury.

Over 180 parents came together for a glitzy evening of fine dining, auctions and dancing. The hugely successful event raised £13,000 for the school's chosen charities and equipment and facilities for the school's new £60 million campus.

Chair of the Ball Committee, Claire Heseltine, said: 'The parents' winter ball is a wonderful opportunity for mums and dads to have a fun night out, meet new parents and raise funds for charity and the school. We've worked exceptionally hard to put on a great event and we are so grateful to all parents and local businesses who sponsored and supported us.'
