The Gala Ball celebrating Wellington and supporting The Wellington Children's Hospital was a fantastic night. With plenty of glitz and glamour with guests loving the opportunity to get dressed up and be out socialising. Wellington's community supported such a worthy cause with a significant amount raised for The Wellington Children's Hospital.
Superb performance by some of Wellington's top artists and fabulous cuisine by six leading Chefs made the night one to remember.
Thanks to everyone who supported the night by attending and to all those who made it possible! Photos by @woolf_photography
