Barnsley & Rotherham Chamber, Doncaster Chamber and Sheffield Chamber have all confirmed their support for the Manufacturing Charity Ball 2026, uniting three of South Yorkshire’s leading business organisations behind the region’s biggest night of celebration for the manufacturing sector.
The Manufacturing Charity Ball returns to Magna in Rotherham on 13 November 2026. The event brings together manufacturers, engineers and suppliers from across Yorkshire and the surrounding regions for an evening celebrating the sector, whilst raising vital funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity and Create A Dream Foundation.
The event will showcase the strength and ambition of our local manufacturing community. As a Chamber, it’s great to be involved and look forward to supporting what promises to be a memorable evening.
