Bristol Ballet’s Gentleman’s Champagne Soiree held their traditional gala at the beautiful historic home of Michele Manning. The home was eloquently decorated, in beautiful Christmas lights, and trees shining bright as guests enjoyed mingling and a fine variety of champagnes. Also present this evening were members of the Moore family who had once grown up in the historic Manning home.

“This is one of several fundraisers held throughout the year that promotes the original ballet company of Bristol. We would like to thank the community for their continued support in keeping this 71-year-old ballet company alive. The legacy of Constance Hardinge continues in keeping Bristol on pointe!” - Karen Tillison
