Pixie Lott to Headline the Nexo Grand Prix Ball 2026 at the Peninsula London in Aid of Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity

The Nexo Grand Prix Ball, the definitive social event of British Grand Prix week, returns to The Peninsula London on Wednesday 1 July 2026, bringing together the worlds of Formula One, luxury hospitality and entertainment for an unforgettable evening in aid of Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity. Nexo, the premier digital assets wealth platform and Official Digital Asset Partner of the Audi Formula 1 Team, has been named title partner of the Grand Prix Ball 2026.

Held at The Peninsula London, the event will welcome 500 guests for a champagne reception, three-course dinner, live entertainment and a high-profile charity auction, with all proceeds supporting Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity, which grants life-changing wishes to seriously ill children across the UK.

This year’s event will feature a headline performance from platinum-selling singer-songwriter and Rays of Sunshine ambassador Pixie Lott, alongside special guest Formula One driver Kevin Magnussen, who will attend an exclusive VIP reception and take part in the evening’s fundraising programme.

Since its launch in 2011, the Grand Prix Ball has established itself as one of the most prestigious events on the British Grand Prix calendar, known for bringing together motorsport, entertainment and philanthropy under one roof.

Guests will once again experience the event’s iconic centre-stage display of genuine Formula One cars, with past editions featuring machines from Ferrari, Red Bull, Lotus, Alpine, Jordan and Alfa Romeo.

The evening’s charity auction will include a series of money-can’t-buy experiences made possible through Nexo’s global sporting partnerships, including VIP access to the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth and the Nexo Championship at Trump International Golf Links, Aberdeenshire.

Octavian Dinca, Head of Client Management at Nexo, said:

“At Nexo, we believe the next generation of wealth is defined not only by what it creates, but by the  impact it leaves behind. The Nexo Grand Prix Ball reflects that belief by bringing together two heritage  sports that embody excellence, ambition, and performance. Through our partnerships in Formula 1 and  golf, we are creating access that cannot be found elsewhere and turning it into meaningful support for  Rays of Sunshine and the children they serve.”

Jonny Dodge, Founder of the Grand Prix Ball, said:

“Each year, the Grand Prix Ball is about bringing together an incredible community around a shared passion for Formula 1, but more importantly, using that platform to make a meaningful impact. We’re proud to be supporting Rays of Sunshine this year, helping to create life-changing moments for seriously ill children across the UK.”

Amy Chambers, CEO of Rays of Sunshine Children’s Charity, said:

“Formula 1 brings so much joy and excitement to many of the seriously ill children we support. The funds raised through the Nexo Grand Prix Ball will help us continue granting life-changing wishes and creating precious memories for children and families who need them most.”

Pixie Lott said:

“It is always incredibly special to support Rays of Sunshine. I am looking forward to performing at the Nexo Grand Prix Ball and helping raise vital funds for their life-changing work.”
