THE STORY

Shrouded from the waking world, the Courts of Duskveil are bound by an eternal ceremony. A precious few entrusted to reign over all who carry the Dark Gift, their savagery masked beneath games of opulence and excess. The lives of mortals and vampires alike are twisted to serve their ambitions, as they each conspire to seize absolute dominion, and claim the blood of their long-entombed Queen for themselves. Ascending beyond even the night itself.
Your invitation to join this ceremony comes laced with the most intoxicating blood, and the promise of a far greater power yet.
Will you join those that conspire to steal the throne? Or relinquish these ambitions, drink deeply, and enjoy the many delights that the court has to offer. Regardless, to refuse such an invitation would invite a fate far worse than undeath.


THE EXPERIENCE

Join us this Halloween from 6:30PM, as the halls of the Arcanist's Tavern are transformed to play host to a decadent vampire ball. You are invited to adorn your finest wear, to join the immortal courts of Duskveil for an immersive evening of intrigue and indulgence. 

As part of your ticket, you can expect: 

- A fully themed experience, brought to life by interactive actors. 

- Food served from a traditional buffet at the beginning of the night (incl. vegetarian and vegan options). 

- A welcome cocktail as you embrace immortality (non-alcoholic options are available). 

- Period dance lessons and a ball conducted in the Guild Hall. 

- The chance to join a mystery trail that will see you embroiled in the schemes of vampiric aristocracy.     

- Live musical entertainment, and tarot readings. 

- A selection of deadly social deduction games.

- Dancing until the early hours of the morning.

- A special cocktail and drinks menu, including the return of some old favorites...     

- Full access to our Apothecary's board game library. 


IS THERE A DRESS CODE?

Yes, the dress code for this event is broadly vampire inspired - aristocratic, regency, gothic, dark fantasy, etc. You are welcome to embrace this theme, as much as you are comfortable. This code will not be strictly enforced, but is very much encouraged, if you wish to avoid the wrath of your vampiric overseers.
