the clink of cutlery. For a decade, these sounds have marked a particular evening in Felixstowe. It’s a night where the town’s business community gathers, not just for a meal, but to witness amateur boxing bouts. Crucially, it’s about raising significant funds for charity.

Over the past ten years, this event has generated over £174,000. That’s a substantial sum. Especially for a local club. This year’s main beneficiary is Prostate Cancer Research, a cause that touches many lives, directly or indirectly. It is, by most measures, one of the most impactful local charity events in Suffolk.

The format remains consistent. A three-course dinner, followed by a series of amateur boxing matches. The evening also features a raffle and an auction of signed sporting memorabilia. This adds a competitive edge beyond the ring. Previous auctions have seen some truly sought-after items change hands. It is, well, worth getting up for.

Business owners and company directors often use the event to entertain clients or colleagues. Tables, seating ten, offer a setting for networking while supporting a vital cause. Booking a table here is a a powerful statement. A memorable client entertainment opportunity.

Brackenbury Sports Centre provides the backdrop. Its main hall transforms for the occasion. The centre is fully accessible, ensuring all guests can participate comfortably. Parking is available on-site. For those travelling by train, Felixstowe station is a short taxi ride away. The event is strictly for adults, reflecting its formal nature.

So when you consider attending, you are not just buying a ticket to a dinner and a boxing match. You are contributing to a legacy of local giving. Which is a rather good reason to be there.
