The Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Orthopaedic Hospital Charity (RJAH) hosted a successful Bridgerton Ball.

The event, held at Sweeney Hall Hotel, was a night of 'opulence and merriment,' attended by many guests.

The ball began with a welcome drink and a selection of canapés, setting the tone for the evening.

A sit-down meal was followed by an auction and raffle, led by David Brettell of Brettell's Auctioneers.

The auction and raffle featured a range of prized items and experiences, generously donated by local patrons.

The Gracechurch Historical Dancers provided a Regency-inspired performance, and a DJ rounded off the evening with music.

Guests embraced the Bridgerton theme, with many dressed in Regency-style attire.

The RJAH Charity 'attended to every detail' to immerse guests in the Bridgerton spirit.

Each attendee was given a dance card, and their seats were marked by noble titles on place cards.

Guests were also given satchels as tokens of gratitude and mementos of the event.

Victoria Sugden, charity director, said: "A Bridgerton Ball was truly a night to remember, filled with warmth, fun and goodwill.

"We are deeply grateful to all our sponsors; The Sweeney, Cornovii Homes, Fleet Solutions, Acacia Law, Planet Doughnut, DRE Accountants, Hobo Floral Design, TMS Events and Lanyon Bowdler – their support and contributions helped to make this evening possible.

"Thank you also to every guest who joined us - it was a privilege to see RJAH staff members and our community come together to support the work of the hospital."

Stacey Keegan, chief executive officer of RJAH, was also in attendance.

She said: "I’m very grateful to RJAH Charity for hosting such a remarkable event.

"The Bridgerton Ball was a wonderful celebration of community, and it was great to see so many different groups of staff in attendance.

"Their presence made the evening even more special, and it’s moments like these that remind us of the incredible teamwork and commitment that drive our mission forward for the benefit of our patients."
