“A Moveable Feast” Valentine’s Country House Party
Saturday 11 February 2012, 8pm onwards
“A Moveable Feast” Valentine’s Country House Party
In a 17th Century private residence 30 minutes by train from London Bridge / Victoria
White Mischief presents a unique night of food and ambient entertainment in a 1600s Inigo Jones country house just outside London. This will be a treat for passionate romantics, cynical poets and all those who recall the splendour of our “Sandman” and “Bluebeard” Georgian mansion parties in ’08 and ’09.
Held just before Valentine’s Day, “A Moveable Feast” marks the first time we have taken over a house outside London. Together with our friends Boom Boom Club, whose notorious revels at the Old Vic Tunnels wowed London throughout last year, we will pepper an array of up-close performances around the building, with dancing in the cellars beneath the house.
Fine food tailors Penny Fathers will fill your stomachs and steal your hearts with eating experiences to be found in unexpected corners such as the Carnal Crypt, the Roasting Yard and the Tableau du Gourmand.
A few lucky guests will be able to take overnight rooms at the house itself; others may stay locally or travel back to London. Vintage dress encouraged.
Due to the uniquely intimate nature of this event only a very small number of tickets are available, earlybird price £85 per person including food. If you are interested in attending please fill out the enquiry form below and we will reply with details of payment, travel, food, entertainment and accommodation both at the house and elsewhere.

Dressing up is by no means compulsory at White Mischief, but we encourage our partygoers to enter into the spirit of things and in doing so we’ve come across dozens of wonderful vintage clothing emporiums, hair salons, costume hire warehouses and more. So we’re delighted to share the best of London’s costume and vintage scene with you here. Remember, while designer clothes may be expensive, imagination costs nothing and it’s possible to pick up some true style for very little cost at these wonderful locations. Don’t forget to tell them you found out about them on the White Mischief site.

We’ve long recommended Prangsta in our extensive list of costumiers and vintage retailers. Now we’re proud to announce that Prangsta is White Mischief’s preferred rental costumier, offering a 20% discount for White Mischief fans.
We have yet to discover a costume rental company whose outfits are as sumptuous, nor have we found a shop who will spend so much time personalising an outfit to the customer’s precise needs. This isn’t fancy dress, this is make-believe on a grand scale.

VIP tickets available for Oct 29 Halloween
Once again we will be offering VIP tickets for our Saturday 29th October Halloween party. Here’s a little more information:
If you’d rather not spend too much time on your feet and like the idea of being able to find a seat easily; if you’re prone to getting hot under the collar and you’d like a restful spot in which to cool down; if you prefer quick access to the booze or if you’re just a snooty type who doesn’t like mingling with the rest of us, the VIP room is for you.
VIP tickets get you into the private glass bar, with the following advantages:
- A dedicated private bar
- Air conditioning
- A view over the main stage
- Access to the private balcony over the main stage
- Plentiful seating
- Limited capacity only for VIPs
- Exclusive walkabout characters in VIP room
VIP ticketbuyers can exchange their ticket for a VIP pass on the door. We will be limiting access to the room so that only VIP pass holders can gain entry. We will be selling significantly fewer VIP tickets than the room’s legal capacity, so you can be absolutely sure that buying VIP tickets will secure you a peaceful refuge, an enclave of calm, as well as a perfect spot from which to view the acts.

Win a pair of VIP seats at next Saturday’s House of Hapsburg
Read on for details of our contest to win two pairs of VIP tickets for the House of Hapsburg in London on Saturday June 11th.
Next Saturday, White Mischief is teaming up with Vaudeville Rave to create a party that combines cabaret and circus with electroswing and costumed characters. Everyone who arrives early will get a free cocktail. VIP guests will also receive private entertainment and further tasting experiences.
If you’d like to win a pair of VIP tickets, you can enter into one or both of two contests that we’re running on Facebook and Twitter. What we’re asking entrants to do is come up with the most inventive pairing of two guests (fictional, real, living, dead) who they would like to invite to the House of Hapsburg. So for example: “Charles Dickens and Charlie Sheen” or “Florence Nightingale and Florence and the Machine”.
TO ENTER ON FACEBOOK
Make sure you have RSVPd to our Facebook event page. Then go to your own profile and click on your “Home” or “Profile” tab. Type in your pairing – eg “I’d invite Napoleon Dynamite and Napoleon Bonaparte to” – and finish off by pressing the @ symbol and mentioning our event name. This should create a link to the event House of Hapsburg from White Mischief and Vaudeville Rave. That way we can find all entries – the best will win!
TO ENTER ON TWITTER
Make sure you are following @White_Mischief on Twitter. Then tweet your pairing – eg “I’d invite Stephen Fry and Fry from Futurama to House of Hapsburg” – followed by mentioning @white_mischief. It’s really important that you type in House of Hapsburg and that you mention us – that way we can be sure to find your entries in any searches we do.
WINNER DECIDED TUESDAY 4.30pm
The entry we like the most on Facebook and the entry we like the most on Twitter will win. We will announce the winner on Facebook and Twitter no later than this Tuesday 5 June. If you win and have already bought tickets we can refund you if you wish. You can enter as many times as you like but don’t annoy your friends!
Any questions please email us.
