The Candlelight Club's Halloween Ball

No one liked a fancy dress party more than the racy Jazz Age crowd, so where better to celebrate the spooky season that our elegantly eerie ball? Photos and fashion plates show us that the 1920s idea of a Halloween costume was more about glamour than gore, so if you’re looking for a more refined seasonal soirée, head our way.

Leading the revels will be Ghost With the Most, Champagne Charlie, with a demonic ditty and a cabaret swagger. Electrifying our stage with uncanny burlesque will be that mystery of the East, Suri Sumatra. Sinister songbird Elise Roth and her band the High Spirits will be proving the Devil has all the best tunes, while mellifluous witches the Bees Knees will be spinning records by long-dead artists. There will also be a pop-up vintage jewellery store and fortune teller Lucius, ready to reveal what horrors lie ahead, all in a shadowy speakeasy filled with our famous jack-o’-lanterns.

You can come just for drinks and dancing but you can also reserve a table with Champagne, or book the three-course dinner. There’s even an inclusive-drinks option. Ticket-holders receive an email two days before revealing the secret location (a stone’s throw from a tube station). So pull on your flapper dress and get ready to Charleston your way to the Witching Hour…
