The Orphanage Masked Ball

Formerly the Hendrick's Masked Ball, its new incarnation throws a spring dance special in this member's club off The Strand. No doubt there'll be just enough room to swing a cat (these dress-up nights are incredibly popular) as they cram the space with eclectic live music and cabaret from the likes of Cibelle and Ophelia Bitz, while the DJs spin anything from swing and gothica to gypsy and there's even Suzette's cheeseboard, the infamous midnight feat table (complete with nude models) and dance classes (swing or pole-dancing) earlier at 9.15pm for an extra fiver. DC: Strictly the finest (debauched) attire.
