We had an incredible time celebrating Father’s Day on 1st September 2024, at the Champions Ballroom! With a capacity of 200 guests, the theatre-style setup created the perfect atmosphere for families to come together and honour the amazing dads in their lives.
One of the highlights of the day was our hilarious "Dad Hairdos" session, where fathers showcased their creativity (and bravery!) by styling their daughters' hair. From classic ponytails to wild updos, the laughter echoed throughout the room as dads tried their best to impress. Watching them navigate hair ties, brushes, and a variety of accessories was a sight to behold!
A big thank you to everyone who joined us in making this Father’s Day a memorable one. Your laughter and joy filled the venue, reminding us of the special bond between fathers and their children.
Stay tuned for more events, and don’t forget to tag your favourite moments from the day with #eventsatarrow!
