We are pleased to announce that we are hosting an exclusive gala dinner as the grand finale to our 50 anniversary year and it will be taking place at the world-famous London Hilton on Park Lane on Saturday 6 June 2026 - and you're invited.

The event will bring our community and supporters together, to make new connections and raise vital funds and awareness for our work. We anticipate a glamorous and impactful evening with the inherited sight loss community at its heart.

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of Retina UK’s ground-breaking work in supporting people affected by inherited sight loss. Since 1976, we have been at the forefront of funding vital medical research, providing essential information and support, and building a community of hope for thousands of families across the UK.

This milestone celebration brings together researchers, supporters, families, and friends to honour our remarkable journey and look forward to the next chapter in our mission to accelerate the search for treatments for inherited retinal conditions.

With spectacular performances, unforgettable moments, exquisite food and an enviable guest list, our gala dinner is set to be an unmissable evening of fun and fundraising.

Our hard work continues at pace and our gala dinner will be the start of our next chapter. We would love you to be a part of this truly momentous occasion and we look forward to you joining us in London next summer.
