BLACK Swan Health’s inaugural Youth Ball is already having much success – all tickets have been snapped up.
To be held this Friday as part of Mental Health Week, the “event with a twist” will transform the Novotel Hotel ballroom into a parallel world of eclecticism where nothing is quite as it seems.
The ball is a free event for people aged 15 to 20, themed on Tim Burton’s quirky fantasy-filled film Through the Looking Glass.
