Welcome to the official website for the Midsummer's Night Ball, 2008! Your hosts, Oberon and Titania, cordially invite you to enter our magic hall with your best finery and indulge in mischief, glamour, and magic in historic Salisbury, a few miles from sacred Stonehenge.

The ball is taking place on 20 June, 2008, Midsummer's eve, from 7:00pm till 1am. We truly wish to make this an evening for our guests to remember: be whisked away by a horse and carriage to the marble steps of the Salisbury guildhall, where the Oreo String Quartet will be playing music for the season in the Foyer. Fine wines and casked ales are being provided by Shipseys for your enjoyment. DJ duo Sexbat and The Ingenue and DJ Andy Ravensable keep the trad-goth and industrial music going until the early hours. Photographer Dylan will take photos so you can have momentos of your special evening. Expect a surprise or two as well along the way, as this is a night when nothing is as it seems, and anything is possible!

Amendments to the program: Unfortunately due to scheduling difficulties we have had to cancel the performances from Firecat Masquerade. We have also decided it would be more appropriate for the ball to be in a single room, plus the foyer bar area in order to create a more intimate atmosphere, so the Grand Jury room will not be open on the night.

Last Four Carriage Rides We are down to our last four carriage rides - thats just one carriage full. So please do hurry if you would like one of these places!

The very friendly local pub, The Winchester Gate, has offered to bring in several metal/goth bands for Salisbury visitors on 21 June 2008. This is a great little pub, under new management by a couple who were very involved in the goth/music scene in Southampton. They offer very impressive cask beers and great prices, so if you're of a mind to catch some music and kick back with a few bevvies (and not have to worry about being sneered at for your apparel choices), this is definitely the place we recommend.
