Join us and party like it's 1926. Inspired by the Hamilton Lodge Balls of the 20s and 30s.
Dress code is Jazz Age glamour, evening dresses, ballgowns, tuxedos, dark suits and jewellery.
Please see our gallery for style inspiration, and our history page for more on the original Hamilton Lodge Ball.
Our event features fabulous performers, music and space to cut a rug, as they say!
We will have a photo backdrop where you can have your portrait take in true period fashion, with our vintage Twin Lens Reflex camera, portraits are free to sit, though you will need to speak to our photographer. Prints will cost extra, print prices TBC.
Please note: We are committed to providing immersive, high quality experiences, as such we do require an effort to be made with costuming. There's plenty of inspiration and tips on our website, in our gallery. If you need help with costume or have any questions, please reach out to us at readingqueerball@protonmail.com.
