Highlands and Pridelands Ball

Kate Adie OBE, a long standing supporter of FARM-Africa’s work, will be the guest of honour at this year’s much anticipated third Highlands and Pridelands Ball in aid of FARM-Africa, which takes place in Edinburgh this Friday.

The ball, a must on Edinburgh’s social calendar, will take place in the Assembly Rooms where a select audience will hear Kate Adie share her experiences of reporting from Africa and her personal experience visiting FARM-Africa’s work in Kenya.

The event is organised by a committee of young farmers and young professionals with rural backgrounds.  Guests will be part of a sumptuous evening combining Scottish and African entertainment. There will also be a fabulous auction of donated lots, including a week-long break at a Victorian Castle located on the Indian Ocean coast of South Africa, fishing on the river Tweed and afternoon tea in the late Queen Mother’s private sitting room at the Castle of Mey.
