The Velvet Burlesque

Midsummer Ball

A Night of Decadence, Desire & Dark Delights!

As the Midsummer Solstice casts its spell, step beyond the veil and into a world of forbidden revelry, opulence, and untamed hedonism. Set within the grandeur of an iconic, historic venue where time itself seems to stand still, and the echoes of centuries past whisper through lavishly adorned halls, The Velvet Burlesque Midsummer Ball beckons you to a night where the flames of desire burn brightest, and the shadows dance alongside the light.


Indulge in a sensational cabaret of spellbinding performances, where beauty entwines with the bizarre, and temptation lingers in every glance. Lose yourself in a sumptuous, high-energy atmosphere filled with ritualistic revelry, primal beats, and euphoric abandon.


Dare to embrace the darkness as the night unfolds into an unholy fusion of glamour, mischief, and intoxicating excess. Dance wildly beneath the flickering glow of the chandeliers, surrender to the magic of the solstice, and let the night claim you until long after the witching hour.


Will you heed the call of the Midsummer shadows?
