BARB Search & Rescue - Burnham-on-Sea hovercraft

31/08/2026

Last few tickets remaining — individual tickets available! 🖤

Don't miss out on the BARB Charity Ball!

Less than a month to go until Batch Country House goes black-tie for one very special night 🎩✨

📅 Friday 25th September | 7pm

Get ready to dance the night away with Six Machine — one of the most sought-after live bands around, known for their electric sets covering everyone from Bruno Mars and Adele to Elton John, The Bee Gees, Guns N' Roses and The Killers 🎤🎶
They sell out venues for a reason, and they're bringing that same energy straight to Batch!

Add in a decadent 3-course meal 🍽️ plus auction and raffle prizes to be won 🎟️ — all in support of BARB Search & Rescue, a volunteer-led charity saving lives since 1992.

And good news — you no longer need to book a whole table! Individual tickets are now available, so grab yours solo, as a pair, or with friends 🙌

Every ticket helps fund their 24/7 lifesaving work, so this is a night that's as meaningful as it is magical.

⏳ With Six Machine on the bill, tickets are going fast — once they're gone, they're gone.

👉 BOOK NOW https://batchcountryhouse.com/product/the-barb-ball/ before it's too late!
