What Is a Fantasy Ball?
A fantasy ball is your invitation to step into another realm. It’s a night where lovers of fantasy (and in our case more often than not, fantasy books) come together to dance, celebrate, and live out their own stories.
It’s your chance to become the main character, to wear the outfit of your dreams, meet likeminded souls, and lose yourself in a night of music, magic, and imagination.
What Happens at a Fantasy Ball
The evening begins with the sound of a string quartet as you arrive, setting the scene with elegant melodies. Guests collect their welcome drinks, mingle, and share their first spins on the dance floor.
Then comes the Welcoming Ceremony, your official welcome into the story. You’ll be greeted by our hosts and enjoy spellbinding performances from our cast of characters who help bring the night’s tale to life.
As the evening unfolds, you can:
Take part in guided court dances — no experience required!
Enjoy canapés
Interact with casted characters and uncover pieces of the night’s lore
Capture the magic at our complimentary photo booths
Embark on side quests that tie into the ball’s storyline
Enter our themed costume contest for best cosplay or handcrafted outfit — we love seeing your progress shared in our Discord!
As midnight draws closer, it’s time for celebration. A fantasy-themed DJ will take over with all your favourite BookTok tunes, and the dance floor becomes a whirl of joy, laughter, and a touch of chaos. This is your time to let loose, embrace your character, and revel in the magic.
Attending Solo?
Not everyone arrives with a companion - and that’s perfectly okay. Many guests come solo to their first fantasy ball and leave with a whole new circle of friends.
Join our Discord server to connect with others before the event, arrange travel, share costume ideas, and make plans to meet up. Our community is full of friendly fae and fantasy lovers who are always happy to welcome new faces.
If you’re feeling nervous, we have a few scrolls that might help - including guides on trinket trading (a wonderful icebreaker). Remember: it might feel scary to go solo, but at a Fae Club Ball, you’ll never be alone.
Where Can I Find My Outfit?
For inspiration and shop suggestions, explore our Fantasy Ball Outfits scroll. It’s filled with community recommendations for gowns, cloaks, crowns, and accessories - everything you need to bring your character to life.
Step Into the Story
A fantasy ball is a doorway into a world where stories come alive, friendships form, and everyone belongs. Whether you come as a fae, a royal, a rogue, or simply yourself, you are part of the magic the moment you walk through the doors.
