Evening Entertainment in the Buckingham Suite

18.45 — Gala Dinner and Customer Awards

What better way to end the first day of Empower than by extending summer just a little longer?
This year’s gala dinner has a glorious 70s feel.

Think Mamma Mia, think sunshine and sequins, think an era when the music was irresistible and the good times rolled. Our guests from across the FISCAL community will come together in the Buckingham Suite for an evening of celebration, great food, and live entertainment we think you’ll absolutely love.

Throughout the evening, we’ll be presenting our Customer Awards, a wonderful way to punctuate dinner with proud moments that recognise the people and achievements that have made this year truly stand out.

And to close the night? Our sensational ABBA tribute band takes to the stage. Enjoy every anthem from the comfort of your table, and if you feel the urge to sing along, we absolutely encourage it.

If you’ve got a pair of flares gathering dust at the back of the wardrobe, a sequinned top, or anything that screams 1970s, now is absolutely the time to dust them off. Going full 70s is entirely optional, but very much encouraged, and guaranteed to raise a smile. And with a prize up for grabs for the best dressed guest of the evening, who knows, those flares might just be your winning ticket. Come as you are or come as Agnetha or Bjorn. Either way, you’ll fit right in.
