The Summer Ball 2026

The Cransley Foundation invites you to the Summer Ball - a celebration of the end of the academic year and the start of the summer. Invariably in warm evening sunshine, and set in the stunning Marquee on the back lawn of Belmont Hall, decorated by our astonishingly talented Foundation team, an evening of great food and entertainment awaits you.

The Ball is for all families, not just those of pupils who are leaving after so many years. Yes, we do acknowledge our Year 11s and yes, it seems formal nowadays to have a Ball with black tie and ball dresses, but let’s be honest, post-COVID, when was the last time we had the chance to really dress up, and when will our pupils ever have the chance to dress like this again? This year, we would love to have some Gatsby Glam brought to the evening!

You don’t even have to wear black tie. As ever Cransley’s inclusivity brings about a variety of styles and fashions. Please express yourself in the way that only you can.

Having difficulty finding a child-minder? Yes, this is something we struggle to help with, but usually in the past friends and families club together to pay for a communal sitter. You’ll be home before they are asleep, no doubt!

If you have any questions, please contact a member of the Cransley Foundation, who would be delighted to put your mind at ease.
