The Lord Mayor's Charity Ball

Supporting Three Irish Charities

Annual Black Tie Gala Dinner

The Lord Mayor’s Charity Ball is an annual black-tie gala dinner fully supported and sponsored by EHL Experiences, with the goal of raising funds for three Irish Charities. It is hosted in the historic Round Room at the Mansion House, a prestigious and elegant venue reflecting the event’s tradition and civic significance.

The Charity Ball is a ticketed gala dinner event in Dublin which takes place each year. The money raised goes to each of the three chosen charities.

We are delighted to open our doors for The Lord Mayor’s Charity Ball once again in The Round Room at the Mansion House on Saturday 18th April 2026. This year’s event will proudly support three exceptional Irish charities: ChildVision, Down Syndrome Ireland, and FirstLight.
