THE POPPY BALL 2024 BOOKINGS ARE NOW OPEN
About us
Supporting the Armed Forces community
The Poppy Ball is a time to reflect, commemorate, remember, and celebrate
those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so we can live better lives.
We celebrate peace, democracy, and the freedom secured for us while
remembering the impact that leaving, missing, and returning home has on
service men and women and their loved ones.

How we support
the community
The Dubai Poppy Ball aims to support the large ex-service population
in Dubai and Northern Emirates, who can gather to share stories,
remember friends and colleagues, and support each other.
Backstory
History of The Poppy
The red poppy is a symbol of Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it.
Wearing a poppy is still a very personal choice, reflecting individual experiences and personal memories.
It is never compulsory but is greatly appreciated by those who it is intended to support.
