The Quilliam Foundation is to host its first summer ball in a bid to raise funds for the organisation.

The Foundation holds the event in London on August 29 at a ‘secret location’.

This may be due to security reasons or just to annoy the hell out of all the conspiracy theorists out there. Or in fact it just makes the whole organisation sound more mysterious.

Either way it stated on its website that the ball will be a, “A rare opportunity to engage with some of the world’s leading figures in inspiring change, combating extremism and promoting peace.

“Celebrities will host this prestigious event as well as provide the entertainment. There will be a welcoming reception along with a three – course dinner, created by internationally renowned chefs. Maajid Nawaz and a number of respected speakers will address the guests.

“A guest list drawn from leading figures, including key policymakers, counter extremism and theatre practitioners, major business people, celebrities and media, will make this a gathering of the informed, the influential and the in touch.”

A table of ten will set you back £3,500 and the cheapest ticket we could find on the list is £175.

We did e-mail the organisation for an explanation as to why it was indeed so ‘secret’. But we did not receive a reply.
