SIAS is hosting its 84th Annual Dinner at Tobacco Dock. Lose yourself in the Enchanted Forest, a place of mystery and intrigue.  Let ethereal companions take you on a journey of excitement and exhilaration.  Dress sharp and be ready to transported to The Enchanted Forest, and who knows maybe we will experience some magic!

This year's Annual Dinner will be held on Friday 25 November 2022 at Tobacco Dock, Tobacco Quay, Wapping Ln, London E1W 2SF from 6.30pm onwards.

The night will include a sparkling reception, entertainment, a three-course meal and some extras to be revealed! Your ticket includes unlimited beer, wine and soft drinks.

Tickets go on sale on Monday 15th August. SIAS is offering ‘Early Bird’ ticket prices of £85 for a SIAS member and £110 for non-members.  Buy tickets from www.metooo.io/e/siasball2022

Our event normally has 700 people attend.  This year we have decided to sell tickets earlier in order to gauge demand and work out if the event is viable to run with reduced numbers or at all.  If you buy a ticket and the event does not go ahead you will receive a refund.

SIAS is looking forward to seeing you for a truly unforgettable evening!

Ticket sales will take place online via metooo (www.metooo.io/e/siasball2022). In cases where companies pay for your tickets, this will follow the same process so please purchase the tickets on metooo and request a reimbursement from your company as you would do an expense claim.

If you are having any issues with the online system SIAS would advise you purchase any required tickets and email social@sias.org.uk with any queries you may have. Our email inbox is not monitored daily and this will avoid you not getting tickets to the event.
