Endometriosis charity event to be held in Harrogate next month

A highly-anticipated charity event is set to be held in Harrogate next month.

Organisers of the Endo Gala are urging the public to secure their places before tickets run ahead of the event on Friday 20th March.

Taking place at Rudding Park, the gala will welcome more than 150 guests for an evening of elegance, entertainment and powerful storytelling, all in aid of Endometriosis UK.

Founded by local woman Molly Woodward, who was diagnosed with endometriosis at 19 after years of symptoms, the event has already captured the attention of businesses, community leaders and media across the region.

With tables filling fast, the final release of tickets is now on sale.

Endometriosis is a chronic condition affecting 1 in 10 women and people assigned female at birth, yet diagnosis takes an average of almost nine years.

Molly hopes the gala will not only raise essential funds but also spark conversations that lead to earlier recognition and better support.

She said:

“This event means everything to me. For years my pain was dismissed as normal.

“If we can help even one person feel heard, push for answers sooner, or understand their symptoms better, then we are making progress.

“But we can only do that with the support of our community. Seeing people buy tickets, bring friends and back this cause is incredibly emotional.”

Molly added:

“I’m so excited to watch the evening unfold, and I hope together we can raise a life-changing amount for Endometriosis UK.”

Guests on the night will enjoy a three-course meal, live entertainment, inspiring speakers, and fundraising through raffles and auctions.
