May Ball


  • A secret location somewhere in south London United Kingdom (map)

With summer waiting in the wings, come and spend a May evening in our historic ballroom in south London (4 minutes from a tube station).

The Swing Ninjas

There will be live music from the mighty Swing Ninjas—a whirlwind of foot-stomping rhythms, four-part harmonies and the divine delights of the jazz tuba—guaranteed to keep your feet moving. When the band aren’t playing our DJs the Bee’s Knees will be spinning vintage vinyl. Presiding over proceedings will be Weimar vixen Eva Von Schnippisch, evoking the decadence of 1920s Berlin and introducing joyous burlesque from Betsy Rose.

Miss Betsy Roase

Elsewhere tarot reader Lucius will be on hand to glimpse into your future, Michelle Krausz will be running her vintage jewellery shop, and sketch artist Sophie Williams will be ready capture you in your vintage finery.

All guests require an entry ticket, covering entry and entertainment, but in addition you can choose to have the three-course dinner, which includes tables seating reserved for you all night. Alternatively you can reserve a table without the dinner, but including Champagne on arrival for a flat fee per table (£80 for a small table, seating up to five, including a bottle of Champagne, or £160 for a large table, seating up to 10, including two bottles of Champagne).
