Started back in 2007, The Masked Ball celebrates it's 10th anniversary next year from Friday 20th to Sunday 22nd May 2016, returning once to its cliff top home at Beacon Cragg, Porthleven in Cornwall.

Next year more than 100 artists will perform across a multitude of individually themed arenas for 6,000 attendees. Full line up details will be announced shortly.

From humble beginnings, Cornwall’s Masked Ball and The Halloween Masked Ball have grown to become two of the most trailblazing, immersive music events in the UK. The events have grown in stature and now encompass innovative audio-visual design and installations, out-of-this world special effects and world-class DJs and performers.

The independent event is becoming increasingly known for its 'masked' attendees, who come decked out in incredibly elaborate costumes.

The masked ball is a bi-annual event that actively raises money for a number of local causes including the Porthleven Christmas Lights Fund, Surfers Against Sewage, St Kevern Christmas Lights, and The Pants Charity based in Falmouth.

Event organiser Kelvin Batt said, "We're thrilled with the success of this year's event. This is the biggest the Halloween Ball has ever been, and we went to town transforming Flambard's Theme Park into an immersive film set of funk, fun, freakshows and frights. The performers put on a brilliant show - it was just one absolutely epic party.

"We're now busy plotting some mind-blowing ideas for our 10th anniversary - it's going to put the May into mayhem and the Ball into ballistic!

"We're also really excited to introduce an all-new 3 day camping ticket, so get involved, and help us celebrate 10 years of beautiful madness."
