Norwich's wickedest Halloween night: International drag queens, outrageous cabaret, bingo, dancing, and enough glitter to summon the dead.

Friday 30 October | 7pm–11.30pm

The Noverre Ballroom, The Assembly House

Forget trick-or-treating. This Halloween, we’re going straight for the big wigs, big personalities and even bigger entertainment.

Join us for a gloriously camp Halloween party night packed with international drag queens, cabaret, dancing, bingo, floor shows, DJs, a retro buffet and plenty of scarily good entertainment.

This is Halloween with the volume turned all the way up.

WHAT'S IN STORE?

International drag royalty: we’re thrilled to welcome Miss Tilly Thrills and Miss Terry Tour, bringing their own spectacular blend of glamour, comedy, music and mayhem to the stage.

Viva Floorshow: our fabulous UK-based Viva dancers will bring the glamour, sparkle and high-energy floor show.

Miss Helen McDermott: Television legend Miss Helen McDermott will be taking charge of our outrageous BC Bingo, so expect bingo with considerably more personality than your average Tuesday night at the village hall.

DJs and dancing: Once the cabaret is underway, the dance floor will be calling. Expect cheesy classics, camp favourites and all the songs you absolutely know every word to.

HALLOWEEN PICKY BITS

Your ticket includes a selection of Halloween-themed savoury and sweet picky bits, served to your table during the evening.

Expect things such as:

· Scary smoked salmon, cream cheese and dill tartlets GFA

· Witches' whipped goat's cheese and truffle honey tartlets V GFA

· Cauldron-cooked Coronation chicken with mango and coconut, mini poppadom DF GFA

· Hocus Pocus honey pork sausages

· Superstitious Seventies Special: cheese and pineapple

Pistachio Shortbreads and a selection of spooky sweet treats from our Halloween Afternoon Tea

Please note: food is served as a selection of picky bits to your table rather than as a formal sit-down meal.

You will be seated at communal tables.

This is a party atmosphere, so tables are shared with other guests. If you're coming with friends, please book together so that we can seat you together where possible.

IMPORTANT: THIS IS AN ADULT EVENT

The Grand Dragular Halloween Ball contains adult humour, adult themes, innuendo and potentially explicit language and performances.

This is not a children's Halloween party and under-18s are not permitted.

If you're easily offended, this probably isn't your night!

If you're here for drag, cabaret, camp, cocktails and a Halloween party with absolutely no intention of behaving sensibly...Welcome.
