Red carpet glamour

Open-access content Friday 26th February 2016 — updated 5.50pm, Wednesday 29th April 2020

SIAS held its 2015 Annual Dinner, themed 'A night at the awards', at the Roundhouse in Camden on 20 November. Guests were treated to a red carpet entrance along with our very own paparazzi. They indulged in a Champagne reception on the circle balcony, giving impressive views of the grand venue.

Around 700 guests were then seated for a three-course dinner, followed by plenty of dancing. A selfie stick was given to each table to keep guests entertained. Pictures that were Instagrammed using #SIASSelfie2015 were shown on a big screen at the venue, giving guests the chance to feel like real celebrities.

A charity raffle was drawn on the night and the prestigious SIAS 'awards' were given out to the winners - some of whom were brave enough to give an acceptance speech. Those who were still standing joined us for the after-party at Gilgamesh.
SIAS would like to thank all attendees who embraced the theme and in doing so made it such a fantastic and memorable night.

The social team are already working hard to bring you an even better 2016 Annual Dinner.
