The Irish Masquerade Ball

Dress Up - Put on a Mask - Disguise Yourself

Historically a Masked Ball was so that upper and lower classes of people - who weren't supposed to dance together - did.

After the unmasking had occurred you might discover - - you had been dancing with a king, or a celebrity.

We are pleased to say our Masquerade Ball is far more egalitarian - it will give you plenty of opportunities to dance with others ... if you so desire!

So why not visit a few op shops - dress up, wear a mask, treat yourself and have an evening of fun?
