The Grand Masquerade Ball in Manchester is held at the wonderful The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel Manchester. It’s right in the heart of the capital, with excellent transport links, so you can leave the gondola at home.
Our live music is there to serenade you over dinner with timeless classics, and costumed performers entertain you with impressive dance moves.
Some parties wind down after dinner. In the heart of Manchester, our Christmas Masquerade Ball is only just beginning…
A professional party band will get you onto the dance floor and keep you there. If you can resist dancing, visit the casino tables. Professional croupiers are handing out free just-for-fun casino chips and giving tips on how to play.
Or for some glittering facial artistry, try out the glitter bar. Our professional face painters will add a little extra gorgeously applied bling to the evening.
If you’re still wearing a mask at midnight, now is the moment to take it off. Reveal your true identity!

It’s all about the masks. Do wear one — half-faced, obviously, otherwise dinner may be an issue. Simple and elegant or intricate and elaborate. Choose whichever style you like.
As for the rest of your outfit… Well, we love it when our guests dress up, although if a full-on Venetian costume is not your thing, black tie and evening wear will do nicely.
