Do I force everyone to come or just let it go!

I have been given tickets today for a fairly local event, this evening, by a relative as they are unable to go now. It a festive event I've wanted to go to for a few years but not got my act together to actually get the tickets in time.
Here's the dilemma we are going to a different but similar event with some other family members tomorrow. My dc 15,15,11 are saying that both are really boring and will only go to one event. So I suggested to DH that we go this evening without DC as I feel that they are ok for a couple of hours at home by themselves. DH hates leaving dd11 Y7 at home alone even when her older siblings are there. He has done it a couple of times but only when we are literally a five minute walk away. I know I can't force him to because if anything did happen I would not be forgiven. So AIBU to force dc to come with us both this evening and tomorrow, do I force just DD to come this evening or do I give up on this evening and just go tomorrow?
Just need some perspective really.

If boys are trust worthy I'd happily leave the 1 year old with them. I was babysitting school age kids at that age
