There is a magical faery ball taking place at the Guildhall in Salisbury, near Stonehenge. The organisers say: Your hosts, Oberon and Titania, cordially invite you to enter our magic hall with your best finery and indulge in mischief, glamour, and magic in historic Salisbury, a few miles from sacred Stonehenge.

The ball is taking place on 20 June, 2008, Midsummer’s eve, from 7:00pm till 1am. We truly wish to make this an evening for our guests to remember: be whisked away by a horse and carriage to the marble steps of the Salisbury guildhall, where the Oreo String Quartet will be playing music for the season in the Foyer. Fine wines and casked ales are being provided by Shipseys for your enjoyment. DJ duo Sexbat and The Ingenue and DJ Andy Ravensable keep the trad-goth and industrial music going until the early hours. Photographer Dylan will take photos so you can have momentos of your special evening. Expect a surprise or two as well along the way, as this is a night when nothing is as it seems, and anything is possible!

What is the dresscode?

A. We hope people will stick with the Midsummer Night’s Dream theme, taking inspiration from the play or dress in something equally fae. We ask you also keep the “formal ball” idea in mind as well. In the past, our guests have come from alternative/dark artist backgrounds, so be prepared to see a fair bit of creativity! Masks are required - even the carriage livery and doorstaff is wearing them! - and you will not be admitted without a mask, though inexpensive masks will be provided if disaster strikes and you realise you left yours at home.
