The First Annual MASQUERADE MACABRE | Saturday October 26 | 6pm - 10pm

About this experience

The lore is true...our beloved mansion is endearingly haunted. 
However, instead of sweeping our spirits under the rug, we'd rather acknowlege and celebrate their presence by throwing a ball with them!
The Masquerade Macabre is a formal masquerade ball honoring the spirits of Ventfort Hall with proceeds directly benefitting the restoration of our east Tower wing.
Come for an evening of music, dancing, drinks, and other dark delights!

We're offering two tiers of tickets! 
GA (General Admission)  and
R(V)IP Tickets. 

A Cash Bar will be open featuring thoughtful and themed craft cocktails & spirits.
THIS EVENT IS 21+. MINORS WILL NOT BE PERMITTED ENTRY.

What's included? 
A general admission ticket will grant you:
*Entry to the event and an automatic entry to contend for Maestro Macabre. 
*Access to the back verandah to rest under the stars and view silent horor filmscourtesy of Images Cinema in Williamstown. 
*Finger-foods & snacks to revive tired bones
*Access to the first floor of the mansion|
R(V)IP Tier Tickets include 2 drink vouchers per ticket and ascended access to exlcusive second floor spaces in the mansion.

What should I wear?
Great question!  It's not every day you attend a Dark Masquerade in a haunted Gilded Age Mansion, now is it?  
While there is no strict dress code, to set the mood and really get into the spirit (eh?), we are encouraging traditional masquerade attire, which includes formal evening wear with a themed mask over one's eyes. Dress it up how you like! Ventfort Hall team members will be in historical, vintage, and formal attire themed to their desires! 

What is the 'Maestro (or Mistress?) Macabre?'
Our team will be on the lookout for the ensemble we feel compelled to celebrate. At 9pm sharp, Ventfort Hall will announce the first official Maestro or Mistress Macabre, the winner of the best presentation for their chose attire! They will be crowned and given a $250 cash prize, and will reign as such until 9pm at the 2025 Masquerade Macabre.
