The Phoenix Ball - Fire Anniversary

Priory Theatre 50th Anniversary Ball
Saturday 26th September 2026

Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of one of the most significant moments in Priory Theatre's history.
On 4th September 1976, a devastating fire gutted the Priory, destroying years of hard work and dedication. Undeterred, members rallied together to rebuild the theatre, creating the wonderful venue we know today and making significant improvements throughout, particularly to the backstage facilities.
To commemorate the the event, we invite members, friends and family to join us for a memorable Anniversary Ball at Nailcote Hall.

The evening will include:
A welcome reception
Three-course meal (select meal choices when booking)
Music and dancing
The opportunity to catch up with friends old and new
Dress code smart / black tie

Ticket Prices
Members: £45 per person
Non-members: £50 per person
We look forward to celebrating this important milestone with you.
