The Sheriff of York, Suzie Mercer, will host a Coronation Ball on Sunday the 7th May at the Assembly Rooms to celebrate the King and Queen Consort’s coronation.

The black tie evening will include a drinks reception, 3 course dinner and 20 piece big band, all in the stunning surroundings of the historic Georgian hall.

Money raised from the event will support the Sheriff’s Cost of Living Appeal in partnership with the 2 Ridings Community Foundation.

Sheriff Suzie Mercer, who is the representative of the King in York during her year in office, said ‘I am so pleased to be hosting such a special event to mark King Charles’s Coronation. It will be a fantastic opportunity for York’s residents to celebrate this historic occasion in one of our grandest buildings!’

The event will follow a similar format to Queen Elizabeth’s York Coronation Ball, which was held in the Assembly Rooms in 1953.

Tickets cost £55 and can be purchased from buytickets.at/ball
