Dance the night away, drink champagne and help women with gynaecological cancer at a glitzy charity ball next month.

There are a few spaces left for this for this festive evening at the historic Royal Automobile Club’s Epsom estate. The Grace Glitter Ball is being held in aid of gynaecological cancer charity Grace.

The evening will be hosted by surgeon Simon Butler-Manuel who founded Grace to raise funds to help him and his team to treat women with cancer.

Organiser Vivienne Cracknell’s own mother died from ovarian cancer at the age of 55, so the cause is particularly close to her heart. Ms Cracknell says: "They call it the silent killer. It has claimed so many lives."

The evening includes a champagne reception, dinner, auction and dancing.

Royal Automobile Club, Woodcote Park, Wilmerhatch Lane, Epsom; Thursday, December 12; champagne reception at 7pm
