Lavish masks and costumes intertwine with a sumptuous 3-course dinner, all-inclusive drinks, live music, costumed performers, casino tables… and plenty of intrigue.
Every party-goer is in disguise. Who’s behind the mask?
The Grand Masquerade Ball in Newcastle is held at the luxurious Hilton Newcastle Gateshead. 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 Newcastle, 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!

All-inclusive drinks are served from 8pm until 12.30am.
Unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks are included in your ticket price.

No. We want you to have a good time, so you can wear whatever you want.
However… you may want to bring a mask.
Yes they will. Once you’ve booked, we’ll send you a function sheet. Use this to let us know the names and dietary requirements of any guests. We’ll inform the chef so that each person is catered for appropriately.
The only exception to this is Kosher food. This cannot be prepared at the hotel, it comes via a separate caterer and incurs an additional charge. Call us on 020 7183 3821 and we’ll talk you through it.
To secure your booking, we’ll need a deposit of £55 + VAT per guest at the time of booking. The balance will be due 6 weeks (42 days) before the event.
We’ll be as flexible as possible. Please let us know about any changes before 1st November and we’ll do our best to accommodate them. Provided there is availability, we can add to your booking — although please bear in mind, we can’t guarantee this.
If you want to add guests, contact us on 020 7183 3821 or email [email protected]. We’ll let you straight away if there’s availability. If there’s enough space for additional guests, full payment will be required in order to secure the booking.
