Revellers at a top North East hotel will have the chance to start the New Year in sparkling style by getting their hands on a £4000 diamond.
Hilton Newcastle Gateshead will give away the gift to one lucky party-goer at this year’s Midnight Diamond Ball on New Year’s Eve.
A sell out every year, the black tie function begins with a red carpet arrival and cocktail reception followed by a six course dinner with live music entertainment.
At midnight, a piper will welcome in 2017 before guests hit the dancefloor with the hotel’s resident DJ.
But the biggest talking point of the night will be the diamond draw, where one guest will be chosen to receive a gem valued at more than £4000.
Martin Robinson, General Manager at Hilton Newcastle Gateshead, warned that this event will sell out very soon and says tickets are now very limited.
“This tends to be the biggest night on our calendar, and it’s no surprise that it has sold out for the last three years,” he said. “Each year we give away a diamond in our draw, but this year we are upping our game.
“We will be giving away a diamond worth well over £4000, by far the most valuable we have ever handed out. We know this will be one of the big pulling points of the party, but even for those who don’t win on the night we can promise a fantastic evening and the perfect way to start 2017.”
Tickets for the Midnight Diamond Ball are £85 each, and a bed and breakfast package is also available for £320 per couple.
