Launched today, the Energy Snow Ball is now open to bookings. Guests are invited to come join in on what will be a fairy tale experience under the stars on Saturday, 2 December.

“The whole night will be a true spectacular under the stars and allow guests to celebrate the successes of the energy sector and enjoy Christmas, too.
“We all know the sector still faces great challenges but it’s important to continue to appreciate the fabulous future that it promises to afford us all.
“With our friends at CHC Helicopter, Balmoral Group, ITC Hydraulics and Mattioli Woods, we believe there’s no better way to continue to celebrate the successes of the north’s predominant industry.
“As well as the exciting new venue, it promises to offer a fabulous night of entertainment with a few surprises to boot. Demand will be high this year and we hope you’ll book early and ensure you get a seat at one of the greatest nights of entertainment Scotland can offer. See you there!”
