Following a review by our Ball Committee, our summer event at Prestonfield House has been moved from 21st June to 6th September 2025.

We’re pleased to invite you to The Opening Ball – kicking off the 2025/26 events season at The Royal Company of Merchants in support of MyEdinburgh – a hub for Edinburgh charities and source of mentoring support to help Edinburgh's charitable community thrive. Created in conjunction with Challenges Worldwide, the initiative is set to make a real difference to our local community.

A key part of the evening will be a charity auction, with proceeds directed towards improving access to the hub, mentorship programmes and long-term impact across the city.

Celebrate with us in style. Enjoy drinks on the lawn, live music by Callanish and an evening dedicated to supporting a stronger, more connected charitable community in the City of Edinburgh.
