NB: If you are one of our members and have bought your place for Friday’s show, you will have been sent an email on Monday at midday detailing the location. If you have not received this yet please check your junk mail folder, then contact us.
If you’re still deciding, be warned that our Oct 30th Halloween show is nearly completely sold out with only just a few places remaining. We’re making available fewer places than last year, so this party will definitely sell out. To encourage you to book now we’ve written this guide on what to expect at Le Chateau de Barbe Bleue.
1. Part show, part party
White Mischief is presenting the Blue Beard story within the environment of a party. Within the four rooms of entertainment you’ll find live music, DJs and dancing, vaudeville acts, themed decor, the opportunity to interact with characters up close and a short show where the blood-curdling climax to the Barbe Bleue tale is brought to life (or death) all around you with sound and light.
2. Some of the most extravagantly-dressed partygoers in London
Take a look at the slideshow below – photos taken at last year’s Halloween party – for evidence that the Mischief Makers like to dress up a storm. It’s not compulsory to dress up, though we strongly encourage it – take a look at our list of inspirations; visit our recommended dressup providers and take advantage of our 30% off Prangsta offer.
3. An exquisite venue
We are taking over a private mansion in the centre of London for this event. Built during the Georgian era with additional Victorian features the entire place is redolent of faded grandeur. Revellers will be able to explore all three floors of this sumptuous building – a lucky few will even be sleeping overnight there (all bedrooms now sold out, sorry!) There’s even an outdoor smoking patio. The venue location (in London W1) will be revealed by email to those who have bought their places in the week prior to the event.
4. Silent disco
While there will of course be the standard “loud” sound system, later in the night we’ll also be opening a silent disco, with wireless stereo headphones. If you haven’t yet encountered this at one of the summer festivals, it’s a particularly surreal experience!
Book your place now before it’s too late!
At the time of writing (Oct 23) nearly all the places have already been booked with just a few remaining. The £30 and £35 places have now all gone though a few are around at £40. Places are extremely limited, and the numbers are smaller than last year, so we strongly advise you to book now.
