Scroll

FRIDAY 11TH DECEMBER 2026

£75 PER PERSON

Dress to impress, enjoy a little luxury and celebrate with an evening of glamour at our strictly black tie Masquerade Ball.

You’ll be welcomed with bubbles and canapés before taking your seat for a five course gala dinner. Then it’s time to hit the dance floor and enjoy live music from our house band until 12.30am.

Your evening comes with a few extra special touches, too. You’ll receive your own masquerade mask, while our dedicated events manager takes care of the details, from personalised menus to named place cards and table plans.

It’s the perfect excuse for a night away in Bournemouth – join us for our ball and stay the night, with double rooms from £115 including breakfast.
