Spooky carnival theme planned as Little Stars Halloween Ball returns
Charity ball returns for a bigger, bolder night at Albright Hussey Manor
A Shropshire charity supporting children and families with everyday essentials is bringing back its Halloween Charity Ball fundraiser following the success of its first event.


Little Stars will host the second Halloween Ball at Albright Hussey Manor on Friday, October 30, with guests invited to enjoy an evening of fine dining, live music and entertainment.
The black-tie event will run from 7pm until midnight and will feature a vintage spooky carnival theme, with organisers promising a night of surprises and fundraising.
The Mayor of Shrewsbury will also attend the event, offering civic support to one of Little Stars’ biggest fundraising evenings of the year.
Little Stars founder and CEO Leanne Farlie said the return of the ball was an opportunity to celebrate the charity’s work while bringing supporters together.
She said: “The return of the Halloween Ball, following the success of our 2024 event, means so much to us.
“It’s a chance to put on a spooky, fun-filled night for our supporters, while shining a light on the vital work Little Stars does for families across Shropshire.”
The event will see the return of tarot and palm reading experiences, included as part of the VIP package and available to purchase on the night.


Organisers said the evening will also bring together members of the county’s business community to celebrate the charity’s work and raise funds to help provide essential items for children and families across Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin.
Ian Groves, chair trustee of Little Stars and managing director at Start Tech, said: “As chair, I see first-hand the difference this charity makes to local families, and what it takes to keep that going.
“The board are incredibly proud of how far Little Stars has come, and nights like this are vital in helping us sustain and grow what we do.
“We’re really looking forward to welcoming everyone to Albright Hussey Manor.”
Tickets and tables are now available, with organisers advising those wishing to attend to book early.
