The evening begins at 6PM in the Southbank Centre’s Clore Ballroom, where the organisations hosting WOW Parties all over Royal Festival Hall will come together to briefly introduce their work. Afterwards, there is a private event in the Spirit Level Foyer and White Room for drinks, mingling, and two sets of performances at 7.45 and 8.45PM.
